December 28th Weather Update

A little bit of rain last night might give way to some fresh snow today! The forecast is saying up to 6″ today on Mt. Hood. Winds are going to start out mild but ramp up quite a bit in the afternoon when the snowfall hits. The freezing level is supposed to drop to 3000′ by the afternoon. We will be open from 6:00AM to 7:00PM today, and will likely run out of a few sizes so be sure to come in early for ski rentals, snowboard rentals, snowshoe rentals, and xc ski rentals! We also sell Sno-Park Permits and can offer some great advice as to where to recreate.

It sounds like a fantastic day for winter sports on Mt. Hood! With fresh snow on the way and mild winds in the morning, it’s a perfect opportunity to hit the slopes. Remember to dress in layers and prepare for the weather as the freezing level drops in the afternoon. If you’re planning to rent equipment, arriving early is a smart move, as demand can be high, especially with the forecasted snowfall. Don’t forget to grab a Sno-Park Permit if you’re heading out to enjoy those beautiful trails! Have a great day in the snow!
