Fresh flakes are falling on Mt. Hood and conditions are gradually improving as new snow builds on top of the groomed runs. At Meadows, expect a mix of hardpack and packed powder with granular snow in high-traffic zones, while fresh snowfall continues to accumulate through the morning. Off-piste terrain is still variable with skier-packed snow and moguls, and coverage remains shallow in spots—meaning hidden obstacles and hazards are still a concern if you venture off the groom. Timberline is reporting temps in the teens with light winds and a couple inches of new snow overnight, setting up a classic cold winter day with steadily refreshing surfaces as snowfall continues.
Today is a great day to get out and enjoy Mt. Hood, but be prepared for changing conditions and keep your eyes open for low-coverage areas.
