Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Yesterday was quite the windy day on Mt. Hood. Timberline called things off around 9am, and Meadows gave up at 4pm after running minimal lifts during the day. Nordic: operations normal. For this week, we’ll have dry weather through at least Thursday afternoon and perhaps through Friday morning. Snow is likely for a good portion of the Friday-Sunday period.
Monday, however, will just be clear and cold with temps in the teens on the alpine slopes and single digits down in the Nordic zone. A few high clouds join this afternoon, and temps rise to the upper 20’s at 5000′. Wind: NE 15-20 this morning, N 10 this afternoon, and W 25 overnight.
Tuesday brings high clouds all day and all night. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 0′ in the morning (temps in the 20’s) and 5000′ from the afternoon on through the evening. No precipitation. Wind will be W 20-25 for the 24 hour period.
Wednesday will also be high overcast. The FAF will be 5000′ all day as 850mb temps hold between 0C and +1C. Wind: W 25 in the morning, SW 15-25 in the afternoon, and SSW 10-20 overnight. Thursday daytime should be dry and high overcast with temps in the low 30’s and light to moderate SW wind. Snow arrives sometime Thursday night or Friday morning; models call for about half a foot of new on Friday. The current run of the models takes the wind to W 55 Friday afternoon, which would have impacts on lifts, so cross your fingers for lesser wind in future model runs. Have a wonderful sunny Monday!

Cycling
Be thoughtful about your riding choices as we enter this dry period. If it was below freezing the night before your ride, don’t ride trails that are exposed to the open air. Those trails will have freeze-thaw conditions, and you’ll do major damage. Consider gravel riding! If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
