Summary

3-5 Feet blasting the Sierra over several days (Ride Powder Saturday-Wednesday). Light to moderate snow is falling in the North Panhandle. Mission Ridge in the East Cascades scored 15 inches of blower. It just started snowing in the Tetons Saturday morning with models showing anywhere from 6-12 inches likely by Sunday. This forecast will focus on the deepest snow for the West. Sometimes too much snow falls in a short period of time, as this could be the case in the Sierra where you can expect many upper mountain closures on Sunday and again perhaps on Monday. The Cascade Range is cold (Mission Ridge would have been a score) with 5-7 inches on the western side of the ranges and up to 15 inches fell on the East (High quality). Oregon may benefit on Saturday with snow dropping south of Washington.
