OREGON SKI REPORT
January 15 2025
Oregon's ski conditions remain relatively stable with no significant new snowfall in the past 24 hours across the majority of monitored locations. The heaviest snowpack readings come from the Mt. Hood area, specifically the Mt. Hood Test Site, which currently has 88 inches of snowpack, and Schneider Meadows with 84 inches. Nearby ski resorts, including Timberline Lodge and Mt. Hood Meadows, are likely to offer the best conditions for skiing, though no new snow is reported, and no snowfall is forecasted for the next five days. Clear Lake and Mud Ridge saw the most notable recent snow activity, with 4 inches and 3 inches of snowfall in the last 24 hours, respectively, but these areas do not correspond to major ski resort locations.
Snowpacks remain solid at other prominent Oregon ski destinations, such as Mt. Bachelor (near Irish Taylor with 75 inches of snowpack) and Willamette Pass (near Summit Lake with 78 inches). However, no fresh snowfall or upcoming snowfall is predicted in these areas. Southern Oregon resorts like Mt. Ashland (near Big Red Mountain with 42 inches of snowpack) may offer less favorable conditions due to thinner snowpacks and no new snow. With no major storms in the forecast, current snowpack levels and grooming will dictate skiing conditions in the coming days, favoring resorts in proximity to Mt. Hood and Irish Taylor for the best experiences.
