Ski season continues at most resorts despite the chaos in the world. Some resorts across the country have decided to shorten their seasons due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For now, Mt. Hood goes on with a snowy weekend and increasing sunshine and warmth next week.For Saturday, expect snow in the morning, mostly cloudy sky in the afternoon, and light snow overnight. The snow level will be 0-500′ all day and 0′ overnight. Mountain temps will hover in the teens to low 20’s. Expect about 0.2” water value (WV) during the day, for 2-3” of dry powder. Another 0.1” WV falls overnight, for another inch of new snow. Wind will be SW 10-15 all day, switching and building to E 30 after midnight.
Sunday looks partly cloudy with flurries as east wind drives some orographic snowfall. The snow level will be 0′ all day. About 0.1” WV falls during the day, for an inch of new. Same overnight. Wind: E 30 daytime, SE 15 in the evening and overnight. Easterly wind tends to affect Timberline more than Meadows, but you’ll want to check both websites for any possible lift impacts before you leave home.

Hood River Weather Forecast
It’s snowing in Hood River down to river level to start the day, and it probably won’t warm up much as easterlies push cold air this way. Expect 1/2” to 1” before it stops midday. Temps will be in the low 30’s early and mid 30’s later. Moderate easterlies, even in Hood River. No rainbows. Too cold. Sunday looks cloudy with light snow for much of the day with partly cloudy sky in the evening. About 1/2” of new snow will fall. Temps will be in the mid 20’s early and mid 30’s later. East wind. No rainbows. Monday starts with a partial Nothing and ends clear. Temps will be in the mid 20’s early and upper 40’s (??? maybe!) later. Light east wind. No rainbows.

It’s been raining all night and snowing above 1000′ or so. That’ll likely mess up your cycling plans. It’ll also make the trails muddy. If you ride, you’ll damage them. Please don’t! With temps dropping into the 20’s overnight the next few nights, major freeze-thaw is expected. Stay off exposed trails: Syncline, Hospital Hill, Kleeway, Mobius, Seven Streams… those are just a few examples. The damage you do is nearly permanent, so do something else instead!Upcoming Events
Saturday is Pi Day. Shortt Supply has the 3.14 Fun Run at 9:30 am. Bring a pie if you are so inclined. The Upper Wind Whitewater Festival takes place in Stabler on Saturday. Ferment Brewing has a 5k Fun Run Saturday. Sunday is the “Glides of March” Strava race at Teacup, it’s Meadows’ Spring Demo Day, and it’s also “The Ruff”, a trail run race on Dog Mountain. Ouch. There are two free daylong meditation experiences this weekend at the Mt. Adams Zen Temple. Metta (loving-kindness) practice on Saturday, and a daylong silent retreat on Sunday. Double check all of these events, as many gatherings have been canceled due to Covid-19.
