Fresh snow overnight at Timberline Lodge is keeping conditions surprisingly good for early April. Around 3 inches of new snow fell in the last 24 hours, with snow depth holding near 70 inches at mid-mountain. Overnight temperatures stayed cold in the upper 20s, helping preserve a packed powder surface with a light refresh on top.

This morning is shaping up with soft turns and windbuff conditions, especially on upper mountain terrain. Winds have been moderate out of the west, so expect some wind-affected snow in exposed areas, but overall coverage remains solid. As temperatures rise through the day, conditions will transition into softer, slightly heavier snow on the lower mountain, while higher elevations should stay in better shape longer.

The best skiing window will be early to mid-morning before warming takes hold. With spring weather settling in this week, expect classic corn cycles ahead—firm mornings followed by soft, carveable snow by late morning and early afternoon.

If you’re heading up to Timberline, make it easy on yourself with fast, affordable rentals at Meadowlark Ski & Sports in Sandy. Skip the resort lines, get dialed in with quality gear, and spend more time on the mountain.

    In the last 24 hours we have received about six inches of new snow. The wind has been strong which affects where the snow settles. As a result the deepest snow can be found in areas that are sheltered from the wind. These leeward spots are ideal for those looking to enjoy fresh powder. It is important to take advantage of these conditions while they last! Below the fresh snow a different layer awaits. This layer consists of frozen granules that create a solid surface. Skiers and snowboarders can feel the firmness beneath their feet as they glide down the slopes. Additionally moguls rise from this surface forming small hills that challenge riders. Navigating over these moguls can be exciting and requires skill making for a thrilling experience on the mountain. Today’s groom will have areas of wind-affected packed powder and areas that are scoured down to the…

    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…
