We are getting some good fall storms rolling off the Pacific which are making their way to Eastern WA, Idaho and Montana. We got a small snowfall this morning.

A tourism ad for "Visit Chelan County" popped up and I saw that the "Mission Ridge" ski area opened up today!

We were in the Wenatchee area on a late summer / early fall trip that took us throughout western Canada. The eastern and northern Cascades are magnificent and a great destination!

Mission Ridge was a regular destination for me being about 2 hours north and with excellent terrain and snow conditions (and plenty of sunshine and a good view of Wenatchee and the Columbia River). Some friends of mine would clock themselves at 60+ mph down Bomber Bowl but I was not that fearless.

I live in E. Washington, we always get heavy winter snow in the mountains to the consternation and disappointment of the Seattle based "global-warming-means-no-more-snow!" media.

Wax-up your skis and hit the slopes!

This can’t be true. According to the state we are not getting any snowpack and we end up with droughts every year from lack of runoff.

We visited the North Cascades National Park two years ago. Very impressive.

Oh wow that is beautiful. I had no idea.
