“Opening day at Meadows with three lifts and an enthusiastic crowd of snow sliders and powder chasers! Three feet of snow since Wednesday made it happen – growing our base area snow depth to 36 inches.”Looks like Mount Hood Meadows had some happy customers on opening day after a midweek dump padded their base depth. They’re expected to launch Mt. Hood Express today and with more snow forecast this week, open more lifts and terrain.
