Bluewood hasn't posted a snow report in the last 10 days (many resorts don't until they open), so these are from the Touchet SNOTEL station (5,520 ft, 3 mi away), a USDA snow gauge. Every SNOTEL station's new snow →

A Few Words on the Snow at Bluewood

Bluewood has no detail snow data, so we estimate 275 inches snowfall, consistent with other interior Northwest areas. Like other interior Northwest areas Bluewood can get occasional rain. Bluewood is remote from major cities so powder should not be competitive.

Accumulation and Preservation

Bluewood early season accumulation should be average for western areas. Altitude is on the low side but exposure is mostly north, so snow preservation should be decent. Bluewood like many resorts has its most reliable snow conditions from mid-January to mid-March.
