Snow Reporter's Update

Mountain Report 3/20

Beware of snow immersion suffocation (SIS) and tree well risk today. Ski or ride with a partner and keep them in sight at all times. Stick to open, groomed trails to minimize SIS hazards. Educate yourself on deep snow safety here: https://www.deepsnowsafety.org/

Up Next: We could see up to 3-5” of new snow overnight and another 5” during tomorrow’s operations. Friday’s forecast also calls for moderate to strong winds and a high around freezing.

The 400-foot-long mini halfpipe located off Pine Marten is currently being built. Peace Park is also getting prepped for this Saturday's Party in Peace Park. Stop by the Lower Peace Park, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to get down to funky beats playing at the Woodward Boombox. Don't miss out on free swag, après burritos, and Mountain Dew cans in the Peace Park, courtesy of our partner at Mountain Dew.  

The Party doesn’t stop there! Once you’ve finished a fun day in the Park, head to the West Village Lodge Deck for the after party!

10:00am Update: Skyliner and Sunrise are now open.

9:50am Update: Red Chair is now open.

8:35am Update: Skyliner, Pine Marten, Red Chair, Outback, and Northwest will all start the day on wind hold. Summit will remain closed due to the storm in progress. Keep an eye on the Lift & Trail Status page for updates.

7:00am Update: We received about 3” of delightfully light and dry powder overnight and the same strong winds that stripped our snowstake last night have likely produced deeper drifts around the mountain. Westside terrain is still experiencing strong winds that are likely to impact lift operations this morning but are forecast to begin tapering down at midday. Continued snow is expected to bring another 3-5” during operations today, with a high around 30°.

Be Advised:

• Guests who drop into closed terrain will have their passes/tickets pulled and restricted. Please respect on-hill signage and rope closures.
• Expect limited grooming and deep snow conditions. Check the Grooming Report and note that ungroomed and off-piste terrain is experts only. SIS and tree well risk remain high.
• The Halfpipe and Performance venue are closed. Heavy equipment will be working in the area.
• Our Uphill Policy remains in effect - don’t forget to grab a free Uphill Pass before starting your ascent.
• There will be race training on Little Canyon this morning, in addition to afternoon training on Cliffhanger and Ed's Garden.
• Be prepared for winter driving conditions - check ODOT for real time road conditions and ensure your vehicle is equipped for winter travel. Consider utilizing the available shuttle service for transportation to/from Bend.
