Ski Report: 4-9" of fresh snow in the Cascades, bluebird conditions on Sunday
The Cascades are expected to get some decent snow coverage on Saturday. By Sunday, skiers and boarders may want to pack sunglasses and sunscreen.
According to FOX 13 Meteorologist Brian MacMillan, the Cascade resorts enjoyed some new snow Thursday night and more is expected Saturday. Sunday will be a "bluebird day" on the passes, but it may be breezy in the morning. For the rest of Brian's forecast, click here.
