A lot of snow farming goes into it as well. That combined with high elevation

snows a shit ton because of the elevation difference, it’s so high above everything else around that it just nukes snow up there. plus it doesn’t really melt at all up there anytime between november and april so it’s always stackin all winter.

Also the Columbia gorge focuses the jet stream and storms just pummel the area
