December 26 weather update

Good morning skiers and riders! Mt. Hood Meadows is waking up to a legit winter storm day, with steady snowfall continuing through the morning and stacking up quickly thanks to light early winds. As the day moves along, a stronger west wind is expected to build, which could impact lift operations at times, especially on upper-mountain terrain, so expect variable openings and possible wind holds as conditions evolve. Temperatures are staying solidly wintery, keeping snow quality light and dry from base to summit, with colder air settling in later today and into tonight. Snowfall is forecast to persist through the day, setting the mountain up for deep turns and excellent coverage heading into the weekend. If you’re planning to ride, be prepared for changing conditions and check lift status before heading up. For those chasing the storm, Meadowlark Ski & Sports has you covered with ski rentals, snowboard rentals, snowshoe rentals, and Nordic ski rentals—perfect timing for fresh snow days
