Early Open For Ski Resorts

By Rod Hill on 2009-11-08


As of early Sunday morning, Mt. Hood Meadows had a base depth of 28" of snow.  Timberline had 26" and Ski Bowl 16" and the snow was still coming down!  4 - 8" of new snow is in the Monday forecast for Mt. Hood.  Timberline has already opened and Mt. Hood Meadows hopes to open as early as Wednesday of this week!  The outlook through Nov. 24th calls for snow levels of 5,000' or lower on most days and several episodes of heavy snow.  It looks likely, (at least right now), that all resorts will have 30-40" of snow on the ground before Thanksgiving weekend!
