  1. You missed the biggest ski resort in Washington. Probably the lowest measured 400 inches in elevation, @ 3,100′. Significantly more at 5,000′ which is well over 450 inches. Alpental at Summit at Snoqualmie.

    1. Hey Mike, we checked this morning and they were reporting 369″. They must have updated it during the day. We’ll get them on there. thanks.

  2. You MISSED Mt Hood Meadows (also on Mt Hood OR, like Timberline) – 456″ and counting as of Todat
