Mt. Baker is running in full-bore optimistic:

Pan Dome will be closed today and please note that there is currently no cell phone service available at the ski area today. It's a day to test your Gore Tex! We will be in operation out of the White Salmon Base Area today from 9:00 - 3:30.

Forecasts are calling for this warm front and precip to be a bit persistent today but then it looks like we will get lucky, as a break for Saturday is expected.

Be sure to check the snow report throughout the morning for any operation change updates.

Day to test your Gore Tex indeed...
