Although Mt. Hood’s snowpack is below average for this time of the year, the ski resort will still have plenty of snow for visitors.
“Our Snoflake, an all-weather snowmaking system which allows us to make snow in above freezing temperatures, has been producing snow since early October, once again allowing us the early opening on Thanksgiving weekend,” Mt. Hood Skibowl spokesperson Karen Norton said.
The ski resort is offering four day-tubing sessions each day this weekend, with openings at 11 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m.
Cosmic tubing, which serves as a “party on the mountain” with music and over 600,000 lights, starts at 5 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.
