Mt. Hood Meadows is off to a great start today with light snowfall, moderate winds, and a few fresh inches of dense, base-building snow on the ground. We’re happily dancing over this kind of snow—it’s exactly what the mountain needs to keep coverage improving and corduroy rolling out consistently. Today is a peak day, with value passes valid after 1 pm and night passes after 4 pm. Easy Rider, Buttercup, and the Carpet are scheduled to spin, with hopes of adding Daisy if conditions allow. Nordic trails won’t be groomed today, but with more snow expected tonight and into the coming days, additional terrain is on the horizon. It’s a great day to grab skis or a snowboard and enjoy smooth turns, with even better conditions lining up next week.
Timberline Lodge continues to quietly build its base, with telemetry showing temperatures hovering around 30–32°F, high humidity, and steady snowfall overnight. Roughly three inches of new snow has stacked up over the last 24 hours, paired with west to west-northwest winds that should keep snow accumulating at higher elevations. While winds may shift snow around, these classic Mt. Hood conditions are ideal for strengthening the base and setting up solid riding ahead.
