Snow Reporter's Update

Mountain Report 5/12 – Powder Alert!

Up Next: Wintery conditions are expected to stick around a little longer, with cold overnight temperatures and snow flurries continuing tonight and throughout tomorrow. Check back in the morning for the latest updates!

9:25am Update: Amid this late-season snow, reports from the hill indicate variable conditions, with snow density in some areas transitioning to a heavier, sticky variety. Still, we're incredibly grateful for yet another chance to make turns in freshly fallen snow on a May 12th - enjoy!

7:00am Update: It’s a powder day in May! Mother Nature delivered the goods to our slopes with a proper dumping of at least 8” of fresh snow with even deeper readings around the resort, and it’s still coming down! Temperatures remained cold overnight, currently reading 28 degrees in West Village and in the mid-20s at mid-mountain along with calm winds. Thanks to these cold temperatures, this new snow is the nice light-medium density variety. Summit will remain closed for visibility and storm in progress, but there's plenty of terrain to grab your epic late season powder laps. Today just might be a day you tell your grandkids about – we’ll see you up here! 

Be Advised:

• Late season conditions remain present – grooming will be limited and melt out hazards may be buried under new snow.
• Roads to the resort are snow covered - ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter travel. Consider utilizing the available shuttle service for transportation to/from Bend. Check ODOT for real time road conditions.
• The US Para Nordic Team will be training at the Nordic Center this morning. Their training will include the use of Biathlon rifles and targets set up at the Biathlon Range near the "Training Oval" within the Nordic Trails. Safety is paramount in the range setup and operation, and USBA-trained staff will oversee the range at all times while it is in use. There will not be any trail closures or impacts to other guests.
• Go to West Village Lodge for food and beverage services. Sunrise and Pine Marten Lodges are closed for the season. Pine Marten restrooms remain open daily.
• Park in the West Village or Skyliner lots. Sunrise parking is closed for the season.
• The Interlodge Shuttle is closed for the season. Please plan accordingly for skiing/riding back to your corresponding parking lot before lifts close for the day.
• Our Uphill Policy remains in effect—please adhere to marked routes and signage. After daily lift operations, uphill travel is ONLY permitted on the Cinder Cone. Heavy machinery and winch cables are deployed at various locations on the mountain and pose significant danger.
