🌙🎿 Mt. Hood Meadows Night Skiing & Conditions Update – Saturday, Dec. 27 ❄️

👇


We’re officially open today and winter is doing its thing on the mountain! Expect fresh powder over frozen granular and firm hardpack on the groomed runs, with soft new snow and wind-affected powder off-piste sitting on a harder base. Coverage remains limited, so early-season conditions are in effect. Unmarked obstacles and hazards exist—sticking to the groomed terrain is highly recommended for the best riding.

🌙 Night Skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows (4:00–9:00 PM):
Night skiing is on for tonight with Pucci Lift providing primary access to open night terrain. Molly’s Lift will also be spinning for lift access only, helping redistribute uphill traffic via the Back Way trail. At this time, skiing terrain off Molly’s is not expected to be open, but continued snowfall could change conditions quickly. As always with early-season operations, lift access and terrain offerings may shift throughout the evening.

🎿 Nordic & Lessons Update:
We’re opening with limited groomed Nordic terrain, and grooming updates will be posted as soon as they’re confirmed. Classic and Skate lessons and rentals are available, and there’s still availability in Adult and Youth 3-Day Camps starting Sunday. Please stay off the trails until opening so grooming can be completed safely and effectively.

🥾 Snowshoe Update:
The Sahalie Trails snowshoe route is not open yet, but guided snowshoe tours to Umbrella Falls are running this weekend and are a great way to explore winter conditions on Mt. Hood.

Before you head up, stop by Meadowlark Ski & Sports for everything you need—ski rentals, snowboard rentals, night skiing rentals, Nordic ski rentals, snowshoe rentals, helmets, and winter accessories. We’re your local stop for fast, easy gear rentals before heading to Mt. Hood Meadows.

❄️ Get geared up, stay safe, and enjoy an awesome night under the lights! 🎿🏂

    Snow showers are expected today and they might be quite heavy at times. The temperature will be around 27 degrees making it feel chilly outside. A strong breeze will blow from the west-southwest reaching speeds of 16 to 20 miles per hour with gusts that could hit 39 miles per hour. There is an 80% chance of snow so it’s a good idea to prepare for some white stuff falling from the sky. Throughout the day we could see a total of 3 to 5 inches of snow covering everything in a beautiful blanket of white. Groomed snow is usually nice and smooth mostly made up of packed powder that feels soft under your skis or snowboard. However you might come across some spots where the wind has blown away the lighter snow leaving behind hardpack that is firmer and less forgiving. When you venture off-piste the snow can be a bit tricky. The snow is not evenly spread as it sits over a base of hardpack and bumps known as moguls. While you may find some powder it’s not deep enough to be called bottomless so be careful and keep your eyes open for any hidden obstacles. Meadowlark Ski & Sports will be open 6:ooAM to 7:00PM today so come on in to pick…
