Mt. Hood’s Glacier Caves Have Collapsed
Saturday, February 25, 2017
In 2011 explorers Brent McGregor, Eduardo Cartaya and Scott Linn began photographing and mapping Mt. Hood’s Glacier Ice Cave. This was the largest glacier cave system in the lower 48 with more than 7,000 feet of passages. News coverage by OPB and the Oregonian brought much interest in the ice caves to the public. Only five years later, the caves are gone and collapsed.
OPB has some stunning photos of what the cave looked like at discovery and after the collapse.
Mt. Hood's Rental Crisis
Saturday, January 28, 2017
If you've been "thinking" about buying a home on Mt. Hood, this graph really says it all. We receive countless calls and inquiries from people looking for rentals in our area. Well, there are none. We haven't heard of any in about 8 months. Portland's rental crisis is our crisis too. Nationally, Portland's crisis is getting compared to San Francisco's crisis.
On the mountain many workers for the ski industry have been left out in the cold with few options for living close to work creating longer commute times. Many properties have been scooped up by investors looking for vacation rentals leaving fewer homes available for purchase. We've never seen inventory this low on the mountain. Bad for renters, good for sellers who are seeing escalating prices and bidding wars in many cases.
Interest rates will be going up this year and are projected to end in the 4.5 to 5% by years end. Avoid contining rising rents and BUY A HOUSE TODAY!

Most transactions these days take 45 to 60 days to close and sometimes even longer! My best advise to sellers is to take action now and don't wait till spring to get your property ready for the market.

Thanksgiving Travelers Be Prepared for Snow!
Tuesday, November 22, 2016
There's a nip in the air and the hot chocolate is going out the door on Mt. Hood in preparation for lots of snow coming our way. Direct from KOIN News weather you can see the accumulations at each elevation. Government Camp is at 4,416 feet so expect over two feet at that location! The bottom of the hill at Kiwanis Camp Road (Forest Service Road 39) off Highway 26 is about 3,200 feet.
Skiers and boarders are getting excited for area openings! Check the links below to see status of your favorite area. They may be opening as soon as Friday!
Mt. Hood's Hood to Coast Relay Begins Friday!
Thursday, August 25, 2016
The biggest relay race in the country begins tomorrow, Friday the 26th. This marks the 35th year of the Hood to Coast Relay run which starts at Timberline Lodge and ends at Seaside at the coast. Locals get ready for the stunning invasion of 1050 teams of runners with 8 person teams plus volunteers and support groups. As locals prepare there are a few places we don't want to be on Friday and that is on Hiway 26 between Government Camp and Sandy during the afternoon. It's a welcome economic boost to our area and we turn our Village over to the runners for Friday.
Spectators can enjoy the whimsical runners outfits and transportation vehicles in all their glory. Vans will be heading to the mountain today and restaurants will be packed this evening for pre-race celebrations.
Good luck to all runners!
