Any day now: All eyes on snow forecast at Stevens Pass

STEVENS PASS — Sitting in the Granite Peaks Lodge at the Stevens Pass ski resort, general manager Ellen Galbraith occasionally glanced at the forecast on her phone.

“It keeps coming,” she said with excitement Wednesday, about the heavy snowfall predicted for the weekend in the Cascades.

Stevens Pass, owned by Vail Resorts, only had 8 inches of snow for most of the week. But meteorologists expected the mountains to receive from 22 to 52 inches Thursday night through Sunday morning, with a winter storm warning in effect Friday through Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

The 2023-24 ski season at Stevens Pass was originally set to begin Friday. With minimal snow, resort staff announced Tuesday the start date would get pushed back.
