Paradise, Mount Rainier’s primary winter-use area, is still sitting pretty with a base depth of 10 feet, or 119.8″.

Whoa!

The snowpack at Paradise decreased by 5.2″ from last Friday’s measurement. Here are the current stats, according to the National Park Service:

  • Current Snow Depth: 119.8″ (9.9’)
  • Average Snow Depth: 78”
  • Percent of Average: 154%

There’s still plenty of skiing to be had on Washington’s Mount Rainier—and it looks as though it will stay that way for quite some time.

  1. For the record, I, the real Wheezus F, did not make the other statement on 6//18 at 9:00am. I think it’s pretty clear who did.

  2. I’m pretty sure that AnOnYmOuS said it gets around 420 inches per year. Put that in your rig and smoke it! I love you AnOnYmOuS, your fried brain is comical.
