Forecast today: Light rain/snow
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 24/03
The Left Coast’s bitterly disappointing season begins to sputter to its conclusion, as further mild conditions across most of the trans-Mississippi through this week and into the weekend. Many headline resorts have already announce their early closure before the end of the month, with barren slopes and shocking conditions the norm for the region.
A short snap of cold temperatures across the PNW and Tetons – as well as Montana and Idaho – may bring a short flurry to some areas.
Further east, things remain mostly cold for the region. Bitterly cold temperatures will be in play to start the weekend, but before that a short sharp burst of mild weather – timed to coincide with a burst of rainfall – does little to help the spring snowpack.
