Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
For the safety of all of you, Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline have decided to do the prudent thing and shut down until at least the 22nd of March. Meadows has suspended their ‘no-hiking’ policy. Yes, you can earn turns. Remember that there is no patrol, grooming, avalanche control, or other assistance. As of this morning, Skibowl was planning to continue to operate (with less guests, they can easily create more social distance) from 12-8 daily. Teacup has shut down the cabin, but as of this morning plans to continue with their regular grooming schedule. If you are going there, please, please buy a pass or make a donation.Our mountain forecast for this week looks mostly dry and sunny.
