Oregon ski areas are seeing moderate snowfall this week, with Annie Springs near Crater Lake National Park leading totals at 9 inches forecasted over the next five days. Nearby resorts like Mt. Ashland and Willamette Pass should benefit, with Cold Springs Camp and Billie Creek Divide sensors also indicating 6–8 inches expected. Fourmile Lake, located near Mt. Bailey and Diamond Lake Resort, is forecasted for 7 inches, making it another hotspot for fresh powder. The Mount Hood region (Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood Meadows) remains relatively stable, with no significant new snow expected despite a deep base of over 100 inches at the Mt. Hood Test Site.
Southern Oregon, including cities like Medford and Klamath Falls, could see travel impacts from snow near higher elevations. Fish Creek and Crazyman Flat in southeast Oregon show lighter totals of 2 inches forecasted, unlikely to impact major resort operations. Central Oregon resorts around Bend (Mt. Bachelor) are stable as well, with no major new snow incoming. The heaviest fresh snow is concentrated around southern and southwest Oregon's mid-elevation resorts through the weekend, offering the best new powder opportunities for skiers and riders seeking fresh tracks.
