Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Wet snow has been piling up on the slopes above 4000′ or so all day Wednesday. We’ll add a bit more snow Wednesday night into Thursday, and then we’ll transition to dry weather and sunshine. Models bring back the cold next Wednesday, but they’re all over the map with how much snow the next round of cool weather will bring. So… enjoy the snow we’re getting, and enjoy the sun this weekend!
For Wednesday night, the snow level falls from 4000′ to 2500′ or so with a couple inches of snow. Wind will be SW 25-35. Thursday starts snowy and stays that way through the afternoon. Clear sky returns in the evening, then a few flurries fall after midnight. The snow level will be 2500′ early, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ after midnight. About 0.3” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day for about 3” new snow. Just a trace falls overnight. Expect the snow to be of the middling-dense variety. Wind: SW 25-35 all day dropping to SW 10-15 after midnight.
Friday starts cloudy with lingering light snow. Expect packed powder conditions and excellent groom. Clear sky arrives by mid-morning. The snow level will be 2000′ in the morning and 4000′ from the afternoon on through the night. Wind: SW 5-15 in the morning, ENE 10 in the afternoon, and E 20 overnight. Clear sky is forecast Saturday with decreasing wind. The freezing level maxes out at 5000′. Sunday will also be sunny. The freezing level rises from 5000′ early to 6000′ in the afternoon and 10,000′ overnight. Light wind. Both weekend days should see hardpack snow conditions. Carveable and fast. That’s good for the forecast for now. Make the most of the fresh snow!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Not much happens in the next few days, but ensembles like the idea of lots of river playtime next week! For Thursday, we start with light/variable wind, turns to E 15 just at Stevenson, and spin around to west late afternoon. You’ll find W 11-14 west of Hood River and east of Avery with 5-10 in the midday. River flow Wednesday was 121-173kcfs, river temp is 47.12F, and high temp forecast is 54F. With rain. All day.
Friday starts with E 15 at Stevenson and Iwash (Rooster). The wind drops to 10-15 in the afternoon. Elsewhere: light or calm. High temp: 57F with clouds in the morning and mostly clear sky later. Saturday starts with west wind at 5-10 or less and turns to E 10-15 at Stevenson and Iwash as the west side warms. High temp: 62F and mostly clear. Sunday forecast is currently west wind at less than 10mph. Monday: low 20’s at the Hatch. Tuesday: light. Wednesday: 29-33 east of The Dalles. The timing of all this could shift some, but models are consistently pointing to Wednesday afternoon out east. In between now and then, you’ll have several days of warm, sunny weather to practice flatwater paddle ups and dockstarting. Have fun!

Cycling
It’s wet out there right now. Give it a couple days to dry out. And Thursday doesn’t count because it’ll be raining! 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.
