SNOW FARMING 101

Winter makes HUGE comeback on Mt. Hood

Despite all the rumors Mt. Hood�s Timberline Ski Resort WILL be open for summer operations. For updates check at www.timberlinelodge.com.

Recently Mt. Hood has received many feet of new snow all the way down to the 3,000 foot level.  Snow is continuing to fall and the weather forecasts are calling for more. Timberline groomers Logan and Floodo have been busy making "wind rows" all winter to collect the snow.  Wind rows work by making 6 foot high ridges 50 feet apart across the Glacier � about 40-50 total wind rows. The combination of precipitation and wind makes one foot of accumulation into 4 feet of snow.
