Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Intermittent light snow is forecast for much of this week. Starting Friday, there’s some disagreement among the models. Let’s start with Monday: clear sky Monday morning gives way to light snow. The snow level will be between 2500′ and 3000′ for the 24 hour period. About 0.2” water equivalent (WE) is forecast for the day, for a couple inches of new snow. Models have 0.2” to 0.4” WE overnight for 2-4” additional snow at 5000′. Wind: W 20 in the morning, W 30 in the afternoon, and W 25 overnight.
Tuesday will be cloudy with a few flurries to start, clear in the afternoon, and cloudy overnight with a few flurries. The snow level will be 2500′ in the morning, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ overnight. Wind: W 25 in the morning, W 20 in the afternoon, and SW 15-25 overnight.
Heavier snow, or perhaps snain, is forecast on Wednesday. Temps at 850mb (~5000′) rise to +1C or +2C, which is right on the edge for snow. Best guess: wet snow at 5000′. The snow level will be 4000′ early, 5000′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ overnight. About 0.6” WE is forecast during the day, for 4-7” new snow depending on elevation and snow density. Overnight: dry and partly cloudy. Wind: SW 15-25 early, SW 25-40 midday, SW 20-30 in the evening, and SW 10-15 overnight. Light snow is forecast again on Thursday. Models agreement falls apart on Friday. We could see light snow showers Friday and Saturday, or we could see sunshine. Have a great week on the slopes!

Cycling
We have reports of brown pow in Post Canyon to 8-Track. Whoopdee, Hospital, and Syncline are also good for riding right now per Strava (the app, not my cat). Sisterwives and Kleeway in Post Canyon are currently closed for rebuilding. Regarding the trails in general: don’t ride in the mud. You’ll damage the trails. Don’t ride if it was below freezing the previous night and is above freezing (or sunny) when you go to ride; freeze-thaw trails are susceptible to permanent damage. Ride gravel. Ride your trainer. Build trails. There are trail builders seeking extra hands on seven additional miles of trail on Whoopdee. Contact HRATS for more information. If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
