Snow Reporter's Update

Thursday 4/2:

Powder Alert!

7:00am Update: Welcome back! Old Man Winter really came through for us this time, bringing 9" of blower pow overnight and it is still dumping. It's looking like a true winter storm up here this morning, complete with on-hill temps in the teens, moderate winds, and heavy sustained snowfall. We're forecast for snow throughout the day today, with up to an additional 4-6" expected. Snow flurries are creating limited visibility, so pack your kit accordingly. 

It's deep out there folks, gather your powder buddies and get up here for what could prove to be some of the best laps this spring.

Be Advised: The snow surface is variable. Keep your speed in check and stay in control. Give other skiers and riders adequate space. Despite the new snow, coverage remains thin across the mountain. Please stick to open runs, expect marked and unmarked obstacles, and exercise caution. 

Snow immersion suffocation (SIS) and tree well risk exist 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.

Be prepared for winter driving - AWD/4WD high clearance vehicles and chains or snow tires are recommended. Check ODOT for real-time weather, traffic, and road conditions.
