Stevens closed. Crystal was wind-held. Baker got 3 feet but you didn’t know until Reddit told you at noon.
The PNW has the most unpredictable access of any ski region. StormDrop monitors US-2, I-90, and SR-20 closures plus lift wind holds — all before you commit to the drive.
25-26 Season Report
Here's how your mountains really performed.
Pacific Northwest Cascades — 156 storms tracked, 363" average season total.
Your Specific Problem
US-2 Stevens Pass closures. Most closure-prone major ski road in the country. We predict it hours ahead.
This isn't a generic weather problem. It's the exact failure mode every seattle & puget sound skiers deals with. StormDrop is built to solve it.
What you missed
While your home mountain underdelivered, other regions were firing.
StormDrop would have flagged these windows with flight and hotel links pre-filled.
Next season, StormDrop alerts you when one of these regions is about to fire — with available flights from SEA already loaded.

“NWS had 25–41″ for Vail from Sat night through Mon, which was a pipe dream. I think 12–24″ during the same period is more reasonable.”
