regionals would be good too

but given the conditions, you don't need to go far away to a place like baker or crystal, if you're in seattle itself. Stevens pass has a swell park, and the skiing isn't bad either (with some sun expected over the weekend). Snoqualmie is the closest option. Crowds galore though.

if you want jumps, go to stevens. if you want jibs, go to snoqualmie. snoqualmie only has two jumps over 30ft and stevens usually has a solid bigger jump line

yep. stevens has a good park. It's probably the most well-rounded mountain close to Seattle right now. all the PNW has shit for snow this year, so it's definitely a good time to go park rattin'

or man up and drive to baker for a real mountain i.e. trees, hiking, terrain. coverage around here is shitty this year- snoqualmie was spring skiing (read: exposed rocks in areas, branches) last week, but the 30 and 40 are up. I found some stumps at baker that I'd never seen in the course of riding it for 15 years, but I'm not all that familiar with steven's. Snoqualmie is an hour to an hour and a half out on I-90, Stevens is north on I-5 for half an hourish, then 45 minutes east, baker is ~2 hours north on I-5 and 30 minutes east.

good luck dude.

There is no skiing in seattle at all. Anywhere. The PNW is just a myth.
