Washington’s Cascades came up with the biggest win for the weekend.  6-12” in Washington didn’t sound like much until we saw the above video.  That video made it look hideously fun.  It appears that the Cascades had a good week in general from Mt. Baker to Mt. Hood who got 7 inches today.  Alpental was the winner with a foot of new snow and some conditions that looked epic compared to most the rest of the country.
