Mt. Hood

[Toona]

Idk if this is a stupid question, but why does Mt. Hood retain snow year round?

 

[RyanWhitdog]

Also want to know this one

High elevation, stays cold, shit ton of snow. Why not keep it open if you have the snow

 

[ScootSkiLyfe]

A lot of snow farming goes into it as well. That combined with high elevation

Elevation.. snowfall. Farming. Salt....

Mt. Hood best mountain 2022

 

[NateDude]

Because there's glaciers.

 

[gravel]

snows a shit ton because of the elevation difference, it’s so high above everything else around that it just nukes snow up there. plus it doesn’t really melt at all up there anytime between november and april so it’s always stackin all winter.

 

[BrightFrog]

as we saw this year, it doesn’t.

 

[hoodratz47]

110 deg at 8000 feet fucks shit up

as we saw this year, it doesn’t.

[theabortionator]

Glaciers, snow farming, elevation.

Charlie Murphy's ghost haunts brightfrog and that's why he has it out for ON3P

Look up the difference between a maritime vs continental snowpack

 

[hoodratz47]

Also the Columbia gorge focuses the jet stream and storms just pummel the area

I'm bewildered that I had to scroll this far.
