Overnight precip of 0.2” to 0.4” drops another 2-5” of powder, likely the lower end of that range. Wind will be WNW 10 early, WSW 10 mid-morning, WSW 15 in the afternoon, and NW 5-10 overnight.
Saturday starts off with lingering flurries and quickly turns clear. The snow level will be 0′ early, 500′ in the afternoon, and 0′ overnight. Mountain temps will be in the upper teens to low 20’s. Wind: NW 5 early, NE 10-15 from late morning on through the night.

Road and Mountain Biking
Silly rabbit… it’s not biking season in the Gorge. It’s XC skiing and BC skiing season! And Gorge Backcountry skiing. Remember, avalanche hazard does exist in the Gorge too. Be safe, and be wise in your decision making. Dig pits. Avoid wind-loaded steep slopes.
Upcoming Events
Friday’s free events: the Kickstand Coffee run at 7am, which is not only free but gets you free coffee and a donut. By-donation yoga happens at Samadhi at 4:15. Saturday is the annual Rockford Grange Seed Exchange from 1 to 3pm. The Cold Lap substitute is uncertain for Saturday. This will require more research.
