I’ll be in Oregon early to mid March then back at hood in July for Windells.
Where are good places to go around this time?
Last year I spent nearly the entire season at Mt. Bachelor so I’m not really interested in going there this season.

OregonDeadPotentially every ski area in the state is fun around then. What do you like to ski
MXmxI’ll be in Oregon to work, ski and check everything out. The only times I’ve ever skied in Oregon is at Bachelor last winter or Timberline in the summer.
My work might move me to Oregon or Idaho next winter. I like the idea of nearly year round skiing at Timberline, but not if there’s no park scene and the winter skiing at Hood is lame. Kinda worries me that there aren’t many Oregon regional posts here.
I like jumps, halfpipes, some jibs (mostly boxes), would like to get more into backcountry. I can have fun on nearly any terrain, I just hate heavy wet snow that’s found in the Reno/ Tahoe area. I’ll be more checking out the snow quality then the terrain.
OregonDeadthere is the potential for some light snow that time of year but we get more high moisture content
as far as parks go Timberline is probably the best year round
Skibowl for the good terrain
go way out to Anthony Lakes if you want the dry snow
oldmanski@OregonDead knows. Sounds like you are familiar with Bachelor, Hood is very similar when it comes to the winter skiing, higher moisture snow(wet, heavy). Ski Bowl has the terrain but is lower on the volcano so it doesnt get the snow levels as Timberline or Meadows. I personally have done passes at all 3 resorts and Meadows has been the best for me due to the snow conditions, terrain options and having decent parks. Im not saying one is better than the other, Meadows just works better for me. As for Idaho, Bogus Basin in Boise isnt a bad resort, just needs to get more snow(like any resort). Boise seems to be a little warmer than the other side of the state, but if you are on the east side of Idaho you have access to SLC resorts, Targhee, Jackson, Pebble Creek all within a 2-3 hour drive.
Paul.Hood definitely if you are looking for parks. Meadows and timberline spring passes start early march so either of those would be the move. Imo timberline parks are the better of the two, but meadows terrain is definitely sicker and theyve been stepping up their parks recently. Cant really go wrong either way.
MXmxMeadows has spring skiing? Thought it was only Timberline. How long is the ski season at Meadows versus Timberline?
