"The mountain is out today" is how we say that the weather is exceptionally good. It's like the god Rainier has smiled upon us and consented to show his face, until we anger him once more.
You can get used to good views pretty fast, though. When I lived in Salt Lake, all I had to do was walk ten minutes uphill and I could take postcard-like photos of the surrounding mountains and the lake with no trouble. The result was that after a few months I stopped noticing it (until I had to move -- I missed it then).
