Forecast today: Light 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 07/04
The sad demise of Left Coast skiing continues this week, with more resorts shuttering with each passing day in the wake of what is now officially a record-low snowpack in Utah. Temperatures remain mild throughout this forecast period across the Rockies, PNW, and Tetons, with a few bursts of rain along the way.
Things may turn colder into the weekend with a few flurries of snow, but whether there is a snowpack left for this to boost is anyone’s guess.
Out on the Ice Coast, things start this period cold and snowy, but rapidly turn mild as the freezing line leaps over tall buildings in a single bound. Things will fluctuate slightly, plus a flurry of rain in to start the weekend to keep things interesting.
