EXTENDED WEATHER SYNOPSIS FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A secondary upper and surface low are expected to drift
slowly southward along the Washington coast and into
northern Oregon on Sunday. This should increasing offshore
surface pressure gradients, allow colder air to filter over
most areas, and provide additional lift for briefly
enhancing light to moderate shower activity, with heaviest
showers expected in the southern Washington Cascades and Mt
Hood area. The resulting strong easterly winds and bitterly
cold air temperatures should provide wind chills dropping to
well below zero deg F, with minus 20 to minus 40 or greater
wind chills likely in some wind exposed terrain. As the
upper low drops further south, an increasingly cold and dry
air mass should descend over the region late Sunday into
Monday, with clearing skies spreading southward and minimum
temperatures likely plummeting to near or below zero in some
locations. Mostly fair and very cold weather should persist
under a northerly flow aloft into Tuesday, although a weak
upper disturbance should produce some increase in clouds and
the chance of some light showers mid-late Tuesday. Otherwise
relatively dry and continued cold conditions are likely to
persist through mid-week.
EXTENDED FORECAST FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
Sunday: cold with light showers briefly increasing in the
north early Sunday and in the south mid-late Sunday, with
decreasing showers and a clearing trend spreading slowly
southward later Sunday
Sunday night: clearing skies north with partial clearing and
scattered light showers south
Monday: very cold and mostly fair north; cold with clearing
skies south
Monday night: clear and very cold
Tuesday: mostly fair Tuesday morning, with increasing clouds
and chance of light showers mid-late Tuesday
Tuesday night: clearing skies becoming mostly fair and
continued cold

Whistler will be good Saturday..! But don't go crazy yet. The base is only 45cm and there are open crevasses on the glacier. Glacier bridges are weak. Trees and non-permanent snowpack areas will spell your early season doom. I kid you not. There's already a lot of destroyed boards and people up here.
Sour news is, this cold front will start to rapidly deteriorate the snowpack. Let's hope a Low pushes up against it so we get TONS AND TONS of more snow. We sure as hell need it. But yah .. looks like things are beginning to happen.

It's about time! Our patience is going to pay off. We should be firing up the cats to start packing very soon.
I did ski last weekend at Mission Ridge just to get out of the house and test my new boards. Ready for some real snow.

Sadly, the 4pm report shows only 8cm (3in) in the last 24hrs
I guess there must be a mass of cold air keeping the storm just south of Whistler because the local mountains (Cypress, Grouse, Seymour) are reporting 40cm+ in the last 24hrs and it's still raining in North Van now...

Sunday: Baker or Crystal?
What's gonna be better when you factor in snowfall, wind, and what lifts will be running? I don't know enough to know. Hence my question.
