Forecast today: Snow grains
with the lower, tree-lined slopes of the volcano favouring beginners and intermediates, whilst the upper mountain is home to steeper terrain, deeper powder and on clear days, some incredible views over the rest of Oregon.
New lifts have made a big difference to speed up access and the mountain is now home to one of the USA’s top freestyle setups, which continues to grow and improve year on year.
Most visitors stay down in the town of Bend, a 35km drive away from the ski area. It’s a booming place, with a vibrant food and drink scene, dominated by micro-breweries that regularly host après ski sessions, beer festivals and spring BBQs. There’s also lots to do away from the slopes, including Smith Rock State Park, famous worldwide for its incredible rock climbing. Fly to Portland for the quickest access.

Updated 10/03
Bitterly cold temperatures across the Left Coast through the beginning of this forecast period, before this freeze will ease as the week reaches its conclusion and the weekend begins. Flurries of snow will also fall on most areas including around 10cm in the Tetons, by far the highest totals in the region. Moving forward, temperatures remain mild with more sun bursting through in many places.
On the ice Coast, extremely mild temperatures take a long walk off a short pier on Wednesday night, with the freezing line dropping from a steady 3,000m to sea level in an instant. This will drop temperatures on Thursday but they will steadily recover towards the end of the week and into the weekend. A few flurries of snow will mov in over weekend evenings, helping freshen up slopes after a period of mild weather.
