A storm system is heading to California and that’s welcome news to the area’s ski resorts.

The state is expecting a few days of heavy rains and snow in the mountains due to a weather pattern — known as The Pineapple Express — that brings southwest winds, along with warm, moist air to the Pacific Northwest.
