OREGON SKI REPORT

March 30 2025
       

Oregon is seeing a dynamic snow pattern this week, with the heaviest 5-day snowfall forecasts centered in southern and central mountain regions. Bigelow Camp, near Mount Ashland, leads with 38 inches forecast, while Annie Springs and nearby Crater Lake National Park are expecting up to 29 and 28 inches respectively, aligning with strong historical snowfall in the Crater Lake area. Mount Bailey and Diamond Lake areas are also forecast for 21–22 inches. These totals bode well for Mt. Ashland Ski Area and Willamette Pass Resort, both of which sit near high-accumulation zones such as Billie Creek Divide and Cascade Summit.

Central Oregon resorts will also benefit: Hoodoo (near Daly Lake and Jump Off Joe) can expect up to 28 inches, while Mt. Bachelor may receive 16–21 inches based on nearby sensors like Irish Taylor and Salt Creek Falls. Northern Oregon, including Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline, shows moderate but steady snowfall with 13 inches forecast near Mt. Hood Test Site. Snowbase depths statewide are strong, exceeding 100 inches at several key sensors, including Bear Grass (143"), Salt Creek Falls (175"), and Roaring River (161"). Cities like Ashland, Bend, and Government Camp should prepare for snowy travel conditions and potential powder days at nearby slopes in the coming days.
