Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Hello shredders! The mountains have picked up a few inches of snow over the last couple of days, and a few more are likely over the weekend. That should keep groomed snow conditions in the packed powder or hardpack zone, other than high-traffic areas. Nordic skiers: both Meadows and Teacup will be groomed both Saturday and Sunday. For Friday night, we’ll see some light snow. The snow level falls from 3000′ to 1500-2000′ overnight. About 0.2” to 0.3” water equivalent is forecast for 2-3” new snow. Wind will be WNW 30-35 overnight.
Saturday starts breezy and mostly cloudy. Clear sky mid-morning gives way to snow in the afternoon and evening. The snow level will be 1500-2000′ in the morning, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ overnight. This time of year, models tend to overestimate snowfall; they’re currently calling for 3” in the afternoon and 2” overnight. Betcha we get half that! Wind: W 30 to start the day, W 25 mid-morning, WNW 25-35 in the evening, and W 20 overnight.
Intermittent light snow Sunday morning gives way to sun, then high clouds, then a little snow, perhaps an inch, overnight. During the day, a trace to 2” is forecast. The snow level will be 2500′ in the morning, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ after midnight. Wind: W 20 in the morning, W 10 in the afternoon, and WSW 10 overnight. Monday looks partly cloudy with the freezing level rising from 1000′ to 4000′ during the day. West wind at 10-15. Tuesday looks sunny then partly high overcast with the freezing level rising from 6500′ to 7500. Temps max out in the mid to upper 30s. West wind at 15-20. The next couple of days look warmer and sunnier. After Thursday, there’s quite a bit of range in the ensembles, but there’s no strong sign of significant incoming precip. Looks like it’s spring skiing time!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! A good time was had by all today! Lighter westerlies continue through, oh, Tuesday or so before warmer weather (might, probably will) shut things down. Saturday starts with 7-10 and clouds in the west and 24-27 from Celilo to Threemile. That’s pretty borderline for out there, but might be just enough for you. Areas west of The Dalles rise to 10-13 in the afternoon. East: hold. River flow Friday was 99-162kcfs, river temp is 48.56F, and high temp forecast is a miserly 52F under mostly cloudy sky (sunshine out east).
Sunday sees the wind bounce around all over the place as weather systems impact the Gorge. The day starts with less than 10mph west of The Dalles and 12-15 from Avery to Arlington. By early afternoon, we’ll have gusty 16-19 from Stevenson to The Dalles with 12-15 out east. That lasts a few hours, then the eastern Gorge rises to 15-18 and the western Gorge drops to 7-10. High temp: 56F with intermittent rain in Stevenson and partly cloudy sky elsewhere. Monday starts with light west wind and stays light through early afternoon. Evening westerlies rise to 11-14 from Stevenson to Rufus. High temp: 59F under mostly sunny sky. Tuesday looks like a carbon copy of Monday but slightly warmer. Enjoy.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Cool weather sticks around through Monday. This gives you many chances to get up and ride the slopes before we’re back to spring skiing starting next Tuesday. There’s quite a bit of range in the forecast for temps at 5000′ starting Tuesday, but all the available range is well over 0C at 5000′ – too warm for snow. Luckily, it’ll be dry for a while.
A couple inches of snow fell on Thursday, and a trace more is forecast Friday night. That should give us at least some packed powder on Friday atop a hard granular surface. Friday starts with some high clouds and turns sunny in the afternoon with low clouds up to 6000′ or so. The free air freezing level will be 2000′ in the morning, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 1000′ after midnight. Wind: NW 25-35 in the morning, WNW 30-35 in the afternoon, and W 35 overnight. That’s almost certainly enough wind to shut down the higher lifts at Meadows and Timberline. Nordic: Teacup will be groomed on Friday, but Meadows won’t be groomed until the weekend.
Saturday starts clear above 4000′ and quickly adds light snowfall. The snow level will be 1000′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 2000′ after midnight. Models call for 0.2” to 0.5” water equivalent during the day for 2-5” new snow. I’d guess the lower end of that. Overnight, up to an inch more snow is forecast. Wind: W 35 in the morning, WNW 25-35 midday, W 25 in the evening, and W 20 after midnight. Once again, that’s enough wind to (probably) keep the highest lifts from opening.
Sunday starts with light snow and turns clear. The snow level will be 1500′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 2000′ overnight. About 0.1” WE is forecast. That’s about an inch of new snow. Wind: W 20 in the morning, W 10 in the afternoon, and SW 5-10 after midnight. Clear sky and warming weather is forecast by Monday along with light SW wind. Temps should rise into the mid 30’s by the afternoon. After Monday: warm and sunny for several days. See ya up there!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Some of you had a bit of a bonus session at the Hatch on Thursday. Many of you will be headed to Rufus (or even the Hatch) on Friday. Saturday also looks good enough. Sunday will be lighter, and Monday looks like a rest day. Friday sees offshore high pressure combine with low pressure in Idaho and another open low moving across the Cascades in the afternoon. We start with 14-17 from Stevenson to The Dalles with 20-23 form Avery to Arlington. Stevenson to The Dalles rises to 19-22 mid to late morning ahead of an incoming weak system. Early in the afternoon, say 1pm or so, the wind rises to 27-31 from Rowena to Arlington. Once the eastern Gorge gets going, the western Gorge will drop off to 10-13 or so. Seeking Indian food? If you’re at Rufus, you’ve got Amayah’s. If you’re in Hood River, Indian Bowl and Roll (the mini relation to Amayah’s) opens at the Hood River Waterfront on Friday. River flow Thursday was 101-170kcfs, river temp is 48.74F, and high temp forecast is 53F.
Saturday sees another weak weather system move through, but the offshore high and inland low stick around. Expect 26-30 from Avery to Arlington in the morning, a dip to 23-26 midday, and a return to 24-28 or a touch more in the afternoon. From Viento to The Dalles, we’ll have 5-10 to start, 15-18 midday, and 10-13 in the afternoon. High temp: 52F with rain in Hood River after 5pm and rain in Stevenson pretty much all day. Sunday starts with west 5-10 or less all through the Gorge. The wind rises to 10-13 all through the Gorge. Afternoon, once another system drags some rain into the west: less than 10mph to The Dalles and 20-23 from Avery to Arlington. High temp: 54F. Monday doesn’t look windy at all. Starting Tuesday, warmer weather returns and likely sets us up for light wind or light easterlies until the warmest temps shift back to the east side. Have fun, be safe. See you on the river!
