Well with how the weather is up here and the cherry blossom season pretty much in full bloom, it seems like the end of the season is going to be a lot earlier than expected. Timberline is temporarily(?) closed and Meadows looks like it's about to be (basing off stats from ski app). I live in Vancouver, WA. Is there anywhere relatively close that I can get one last solid weekend in? I know Bachelor isn't too far but everything within distance has already closed and the spring slush is among us. Finals are done this Wednesday and i'm looking to make the trip with a few buddies this weekend if anyone knows of anything or has any suggestions.

tl;dr Where can I ski this weekend coming from the Portland area?

Bachelor is your only hope. The lack of snow at meadows today, even up top, was insane. They've also now temporarily closed. Summer has arrived, and it's gonna be a dry one.

thanks for the tip. I went around early january when it was pouring rain, foggy, and windy and they were open so I figured they were closed right now due to lack of snow. It's supposed to rain hard this weekend again so maybe it'll snow up there but it's getting too warm so I doubt it.

I'm up here right now and its been snowing all night on Palmer and at the lodge. Its really windy, and probably going to get more rain during the week, but hell some snow is sure nice to see.

They've been snow farming and pushing snow from other runs to the park, so they are really doing their best to keep it open as long as possible for us!

Stevens Pass, Baker, and Snoqualmie are all (temporarily?) closed in WA. Limited operations at Crystal Mtn Wed-Sunday. Good luck, but you may want to invest your $ into summer activities
