Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Resort update: Teacup Nordic has 16k groomed. Timberline is open with Bruno’s and Pucci. Skibowl is open for tubing through Dec. 1st. Summit opens for tubing on the 29th. Meadows will have their annual “preview weekend” starting on Friday, November 29th.Deep cold air persisted over the Cascades on Saturday night, keeping the precipitation in snow form. That’s good, because the resorts need all the snow they can get! Intermittent light snowfall continues for Sunday, probably switching to drizzle overnight. Not much happens Monday and Tuesday. Next round of precip is Wednesday, but it’s looking a bit too warm for snow at the lower ski resort elevations.
For Sunday, expect a cloudy, foggy day on Mt. Hood with intermittent light snowfall. The snow level will be about 1000′ early, 4000′ in the afternoon, and 5500′ overnight. Just a trace of snow falls during the day. 0.05” water value (WV) falls overnight, probably as drizzle or mist. Wind will be SSW 20 in the morning, SW 15 in the afternoon, and SW 5-10 overnight.
Monday starts cloudy and turns clear over low clouds. Clouds return overnight. The free air freezing level will be 5500′ early and 6000′ through the afternoon and evening. No precip. Wind will be light SW early, rising to WSW 15 in the afternoon and evening. Tuesday looks partly cloudy and then cloudy. The free air freezing level will be 6000′ early and 6500′ in the afternoon and evening. Wind will be WSW 15 in the morning, SW 10 in the afternoon, and SW 20 overnight.
Wednesday sees another system move in with SW flow. It appears that 5000′ temps will be 2-4F with this one, bringing about 0.5” of rain to Mt. Hood. Looking into the extended forecast through next weekend, there’s not really much hope for additional snowfall unless something changes.

Well… now there is snow all over the trails. Post Canyon is likely still rideable due to it being frozen solid and not much snow making it through the canopy. Stay off Syncline due to freeze-thaw potential. Same for Whoopdee and hospital hill. Upper elevation trails near Mt. Hood are probably buried now, but trails on the Washington side may still be clear.Upcoming Events
It’s Sunday, and there’s always a $5 yoga class at Samadhi on Sunday mornings. That sounds like a good thing to do on a gray and snowy day!
