Forecast today: Mainly cloudy
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 aprรจs 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 15/04
Some weird weather patterns are in store for much of the US Left Coast this week, with cold air flowing down over the Great Plains to push snow east-to-west over the region. This will start on Wednesday and into Thursday in Montana and Colorado, making its way south and west until it peters out before hitting western Idaho and the Sierras. In total this can bring up to about 20″ in many areas between Wednesday and Saturday.
Over the Ice Coast, a cold patch in the middle of this week keeps things steady, albeit with limited to no snowfall to show for it. Things then turn incredibly mild over the end of this weekend into the weekend, with significant rainfall possible.
