Stay home and work on that improvement project you've been putting off. Give me any ski area, big or small, with 6 inches of new powder and a blue ski day and that's a recipe for a memorable day skiing. Here in the Northwest we rarely have those blue sky days, but we do have a lot of snow that piles up. If you are thinking about early season snow, Mt. Baker Ski area has the most reliable snow. They have the deepest annual total of any ski area in the world 600 inches a year.
Individual storms can focus the snow at certain ski area.
When you hear on TV or radio there is a Puget Sound Convergence Zone developing - look towards Stevens Pass. Normally it occurs near Stevens and can mean epic powder skiing. My personal favorite is Crystal Mt , especially the north and south back country. Ask the ski patrol if you are not familiar with it. The altitude and terrain ensure great skiing much of the winter.
