Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Hey everyone! That was a nice bout of spring skiing. We’ll see transitional weather for the next 48 hours – a bit of snow, a bit of rain – and then we fall back into 7-10 days of significant snowfall. Ensembles (a whole bunch of models, essentially) call for 3-5” water equivalent (WE) through the end of this month with the snow level constantly below 5000′ starting Saturday morning. Nice. Very nice.
Wednesday night brings a trace of rain or mixed precip to the slopes. The snow level falls from 7000′ Wednesday evening to 3500′ Thursday morning. Wind: SW 20-35 turning to W 25. Thursday will be mostly clear to start and will turn cloudy with a few flurries or light snow during the day. Overnight: dry. The snow level will be 3500′ early, 4500′ in the afternoon, and 6000′ overnight. About 0.1” WE is forecast, for up to 1” new snow. Wind: W 25 in the morning, SW 10-15 in the afternoon, and SSW 5-10 overnight.
Friday starts high overcast. A system swings in midday and drops snow rain or snain. That transitions to snow overnight. The snow level will be 6000′ early, 5500′ in the afternoon, and 3500′ overnight. About 0.3” mixed precip is forecast during the day. Overnight, another 0.3” WE gives us 1-3” wet snow. Wind: SSW 5-10 in the morning, SW 10-20 in the afternoon, and SW 5-10 overnight. The fun really begins on Saturday.
The snow level starts around 3500′ and stays there all day with temps at 5000′ in the upper 20s to low 30s. About 0.7” WE is forecast for the daytime. Call it 5-6” relatively dense snow. Overnight: 0.4” WE for 3-4” more. Wind: SW 10-20 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and WNW 30-40 overnight. Storm skiing is forecast Sunday with the snow level falling from 3000′ to 2000′. Up to a foot of new is forecast for the 24 hour period. Intermittent storms continue all next week. Spring pow for Spring Break! Enjoy!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Good to see you on the river at the Hatch today! We probably wont’ have enough wind to repeat until Sunday, but the forecast looks pretty decent both Sunday and Monday. Ensembles are pretty optimistic about Sunday. Less so on Monday, but those that are optimistic are VERY optimistic. Fingers crossed!
For Thursday we’ll start with very light westerlies. They pick up to 7-10 west of The Dalles and 11-14 east of The Dalles. River flow Wednesday was 108-172kcfs, river temp is 45.68F, and high temp forecast is 60F. Friday starts with E 10-15 at Stevenson and E 15-20 at Iwash (Rooster) Rock. They both jump to 20-25 for a couple hours and then turn calm in the afternoon. Guess what else happens? Lots of rain. High temp: 61F. Saturday starts with east wind at 5-10mph or less. The wind turns around in the afternoon. You’ll find 5-10mph or less west of Avery and gusty 13-16 out in the desert as far east as Threemile. High temp: 54F and rainy. Looking at Sunday… well, that puts a smile on my face. 13-16 Stevenson to Arlington to start. 17-20 mid-morning from Stevenson to Biggs. 26-29 Avery to Threemile in the afternoon. Monday: light westerlies to start. 29-33 Avery to Boardman in the afternoon. The forecast for those two days is far from certain. Sunday looks more certain than Monday. Fingers crossed for both days!

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.
