Forecast today: 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.

Another excellent low pressure system will make its way over the Left Coast over the course of the backend of this week, bringing several feet of snow to some parts. This will create another insider slider system, delivering goods to the Sierras from Friday morning onwards – up to a foot-and-a-half will fall over Friday and Saturday.
This system – pushing in from the Pacific off San Francisco – will keep moving inland, hitting Utah and Colorado – delivering one of Colorado’s first big dumps of the season so far. This could see two feet of snowfall over this weekend.
Mild conditions will follow this system as the weekend concludes, especially over the Sierras.
Out East, an unsettled week will continue with temperatures swinging drastically between bitterly cold and mild. Accompanying this will be bursts of snowfall, with around 15cm down overnight Wednesday into Thursday, and a further 25cm down over the weekend.
