Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Good morning skiers. Just when you thought ski season was over, Mother Nature has plans to bring in a bunch of fresh snow Thursday into Saturday. It won’t be the fluffiest snow, but as of this morning, it looks like the snow level will bounce around between 4000′ and 5000′. That’s low enough for accumulation at the resorts and maybe even at Teacup.
Before that happens, we’ve got spring skiing. Temps in the upper 20’s early Monday set us up for excellent corn snow. The free air freezing level rises to 7500′ in the afternoon and 10,000′ overnight. Wind will be variable to 15 during the day and E 20 after midnight. Temps max out around 40F. Tuesday will be have some thin high clouds. The freezing level will be between 9000′ and 10,000′. Temps max out in the upper 40s. Wind; E 20 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and W 20 overnight. Clouds build on Wednesday. If there are enough of them early enough, the snow won’t refreeze overnight. As of right now, I’d guess we’ll have another round of spring skiing. Increasing clouds should help the snow last longer on Wednesday thank Monday/Tuesday. The free air freezing level will be 9000′ in the morning, 6500′ in the afternoon, and 6000′ after midnight. Wind: W 20 all day turning to SW 15 overnight.
Looking at the Thursday-Saturday time span, we (finally) have some incoming moisture. There’s quite a bit of range – models have total moisture over that period of 1-2”. With the exception of a brief period Thursday afternoon where the snow level rises to 5000′, it should be around 4000′ for the period. Heaviest snowfall will be Thursday night. We’ll dive more deeply into the details as we get closer. Sounds like a fun way to spend part of this week! Spring skiing to start. Winter to finish. Enjoy!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Fun was had at the Hatchery yesterday. Today looks like a rest day from wind sports. Tuesday brings easterlies early and westerlies later. On Wednesday, we’ll have another round of westerlies. We’ll talk a bit more about the extended forecast after we discuss the next three days.
High pressure settles in on Monday and gives us light east wind. The wind maxes out at 15mph at Iwash (Rooster), Stevenson, and Viento before fading to 10mph in the afternoon. River flow Sunday was 144-163kcfs, river temp is 51.44F, and high temp forecast is 67F. Tuesday starts with E 20-25 at Iwash and 20 at Stevenson with 15-20 at Viento. The wind drops to 15-20 at all those spots by mid morning and continues to drop into the afternoon. Models suggest the wind will turn westerly after 5pm. Call it 14-17 from Stevenson to Hood River. High temp: 72F. A weak system moving into BC on Wednesday combines with heat in the desert and westerly flow off the Pacific. This gives us, without going into too many details, 20-23 from Stevenson to Arlington for much of the day. Slightly stronger Dawn Patrol is a possibility between Viento and Swell or Mosier. High temp: 66F.
Extended: rain all day Thursday shuts down the wind. Good. We need the rain! Active weather sticks around and sets us up for moderate, rather gusty westerlies Friday and Saturday. The focus of the wind will likely be east of Hood River. Let’s leave it there for now. Have fun on the river!

Cows are out on Hospital Hill. NO DOGS. That means you, all of you, even your dog that’s [insert adjective]. No dogs. Do not risk access for everyone. No parking at the corral. Whoopdee flowers are in full bloom. Hospital Hill and Syncline have ticks, oaks, and flowers. Columbia Hills is full of flowers and open to your bike. HRATS have a fundraiser on 4/20. Raffle tickets are on sale now. Buy some and support your trails organization. Definitely got a Tack Alert going on out there right now – lots of good dirt. Some areas of Post are still muddy (shady, cool areas), so consider choosing a different spot to ride. You’ll have Post all summer long! Sisterwives and Kleeway in Post Canyon are currently closed for rebuilding. It’s trail-building season. Get on the HRATS mailing list if you’d like to help out. If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Good morning skiers and riders! Spring skiing is on tap again today despite the addition of half an inch to an inch of new snow on the slopes. Groom crew reports that mixed right in and left us with frozen granular. Give it a couple hours to soften up – it was right around 20F up there at dawn. We’ll have spring skiing through Wednesday. Guess what happens on Thursday into Friday? Fresh snow!
Sunday will be mostly sunny all day long. The free air freezing level rises from 2500′ to 5000′ or so and drops back to 3500′ overnight. Temps max out in the low-mid 30s. Wind will be NW 5-10 during the day and variable to 10mph overnight. Monday will be sunny with light and variable wind. The free air freezing level goes from 3500′ in the morning to 8000′ in the afternoon and 10,000′ overnight. Temps max out around 40F. Tuesday starts clear and adds high clouds. Temps max out around 50F. The freezing level starts around 10,000′ and falls to somewhere between 4000′ and 8000′ overnight as a colder system arrives from the west. Wind: SW 10 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and W 25 overnight.
Clouds build on Wednesday, and the freezing level drops to 6000′ in the afternoon and 3000′ overnight. Wind will be 15-25 from various directions. Thursday starts snowy and stays that way all through the night. The snow level will be somewhere around 4000′ for the period. Models are all over the place on how much snow we’ll pick up… anywhere from a few inches to over a foot. We’ll keep a close eye on this. After that, model range increases, but there is the possibility of another round of snow the following week. Have a great day on the snow!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! It took a while yesterday, but the wind finally arrived. The swell was good, the crowds non-existent, and the smiles were big. We’ll see moderate westerlies today (maybe just enough in the afternoon) followed by not-enough easterlies on Monday, and a east-west switcheroo on Tuesday with 70 degree weather.
Sunday sees high pressure building inland. This knocks down the gradients, but might leave us with just enough this afternoon. The day starts with 18-22 east of The Dalles. Don’t chase it. It’ll drop mid-morning to 10-13. After 2pm or so, gradients pick up just a bit from Portland to The Dalles and leave us with the potential (I’d say 50-50 for “enough”) for 14-17 from Stevenson to The Dalles. River flow yesterday was noticeably up – the elevator was running – 141-186kcfs. River temp is 51.80kcfs (do not make the mistake of wearing a 3/2 like I did yesterday), and high temp forecast is 60F.
The previously mentioned high pressure settles in on Monday. This turns the gradients easterly. Expect 15ish at both Iwash (Rooster) and Stevenson in the morning and 10mph in the afternoon. The wind should stay light or calm near Hood River. High temp: 66F. Tuesday starts with easterlies at 20-25 at Iwash, Stevenson, and Viento, where you might have just 15-20. Jump on it, because it’ll be fading by mid-morning. A weak system approaching late afternoon gives us the potential for gusty 21-24 from Stevenson to Avery. Fingers crossed it happens before dark! Extended: upper teens to low 20s out east. Thursday: light, variable, and rainy.
