Mt. Hood Ski Forecast for Thanksgiving Week

Monday, November 25, 2013
by Liz Warren

This past opening weekend for skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline lacked a bit snow to really bring out any crowds. The forecast this week doesn't bod well for skiers and boarders but Thanksgiving travel looks great compared to the rest of the country! 

Local businesses and ski areas love Thanksgiving and lack of snow on Mt. Hood creates a difficult economic scene for local merchants in Welches and Government Camp. Check out the balmy weather for the rest of this week.

It could be the perfect week for day trips to Mt. Hood to tour Timberline Lodge, visit the Mt. Hood Brewery for some famous Ice Axe, or hit the links at the Resort at the Mountain! For evenings there's always live music at the Skyway. Have a great Thanksgiving!
