Everything's gonna be fine. The rain will pack down the base.

In related news, Red Mountain Ski Area in Rossland BC has lots of snow, if you fly up to Trail from Vancouver (about $120 for a trip).

And it's gonna be a great ski year in the Canadian Rocky Mountains!

What @1 said. The rain makes the base fill in all the gaps. It's good for covering all those pointy rocks that you don't want to hit with your new board, and will make a nice foundation for the snow next week, next month, etc.

This may also increase avalanche danger when this wet heavy snow refreezes. Anything that dumps on top of it could be extremely unstable.

@6 - Between WSDOT and the local ski patrols, I don't think the National Guard has much to do with avalanches ... Unless one rolls through downtown Seattle, which doesn't seem too likely.
