Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Sunny and dry weather continues for Sunday followed by clouds on Monday, mixed precip Tuesday daytime, and then snow (how much is questionable) on Tuesday night. After that, we wait a few more days for the pattern to change back over to the active weather we’ve been waiting for. Starting around the 28th, models suggest we’ll move into wet-enough, cold-enough weather to build the snowpack and put turns on the menu. In the meantime… there are 7k groomed at Teacup.
Mt. Hood will be clear and sunny Sunday. High clouds move in overnight and stick around until late in the night when the sky may clear for a bit. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 10,000′ this morning, 8500′ this afternoon, and 6500′ overnight. No precip. Wind will be W 10 all day and variable to 10 overnight. Monday will be cloudy all day. The FAF will be 6500′ all day long. Wind: variable to 10 in the morning, WNW 5 in the afternoon, and SW 15 overnight.
Thin high clouds Tuesday morning quickly give way to rain, then mixed precip, then snow from late afternoon on. The snow level will be 6500′ in the morning, 5500′ in the afternoon, 4000′ in the evening, and 3500′ overnight. About 0.3” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day. That’s mixed precip. Up to 0.6” is forecast overnight (more likely less than that) for 4-6” new snow. Wind: SW 10-15 in the morning, SW 30-45 in the afternoon, WSW 45-60 in the evening, and W 35-40 overnight.
A few flurries on Wednesday give way to clear sky then high clouds. The FAF rises from 3500′ in the morning to 10,000′ overnight. The weather then stays warm and sunny for a few days. Next round of moisture, which could lead into a pattern change, is predicted for sometime around the 28th. Maybe this will be the pattern change we’re looking for to kick off ski season!

Local-ish Events
Please let me know of outdoor-related local-ish events. If you don’t tell me, I don’t know!
Regular weekly events: Monday brings forest bathing and meditation walk. Meet at 5:15pm Mondays in November at the corner of Arrowhead Ave and Indian Creek Road. Suggested donation up to $20. Ferment’s Tuesday night 4-mile walk/run is at 6pm. At 7:15am on Wednesdays, there’s a run from the White Salmon Bakery. At 7am on Friday morning, there’s a run from Pine Street Bakery. There’s a weekly group paddle to the Event Site on Sunday at 11 am followed by a free pint at the fire pit at Ferment. That’s the “Paddle n’ Pint”. Also: Wednesday Paddle Sprints at the Event Site at Noon. The sprint course is 2 two laps around the sailing buoy near Wells Island and back – 3.5 miles.
Cycling
Out on the trails, we have freeze-thaw conditions. Please avoid trails that are exposed to the open air, in other words, trails that aren’t under the tree canopy. If you ride trails that froze and then thawed, you’ll do major and probably permanent damage to the tread. The Family Man closure kicked off on November 1st – the area around Family Man and Riordan Hill Road will be closed into December. Upper elevation trails, above 4000′, are likely to have some snow coverage. If you’re riding Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
