The Ski Area is closed this week from Monday - Thursday, and will reopen Friday, April 19th. Be advised that our mountain operations crews are still on the slopes, in the parking lots, and lodges conducting routine maintenance and operating heavy equipment. Please respect all closures and note there are unmarked obstacles and dangers present. 

We’re enjoying April snow flurries on the ski area today, with a few inches accumulating so far and a bit more expected throughout the day. After this snow, we see nothing but sunshine and bright blue skies for the remainder of the midweek. Looking ahead to the weekend, Friday shows continued sunshine, which will roll into Saturday as this high pressure system fends off a weak front rolling in, with the potential for some light precipitation Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Join us for spring skiing conditions and never ending hot pow, so we can send this season off in proper fashion this closing weekend. 

For all of you season pass holders, remember to move your pass from your winter gear to your spring skiing uniform. With the sun high and temps warm, layers will be coming off, but you’ll have to have your pass to hit the slopes. There will be no grace tickets issued to those who forget their pass. Get creative and put that pass in your jorts or speed suit pocket, so you can ride all day!

Operations for closing weekend are expected to be mainly out of White Salmon, weather and conditions dependent. Keep an eye on your favorite forecast, rest your legs, and as always, check back here for the latest operations and conditions update for your favorite local Ski Area.
