When is mount hood fried?

[304NordMan]

So im going out to portland in the third week of october this year, and im wondering if i should bring my skis. is it really worth going that late in the year, or is it still banger? thanx

Timberline is open all summer.

Yeah Timberline has a sick park until like august, so definitely bring your skis.

 

[304NordMan]

this i know of. but is it worth going in late october, or is it just too melted and muddy?

 

[skodeo7]

Some years yes...this year...I'm doubtful it would be very good then.

 

[304NordMan]

would they atleats have a park setup

 

[selkirks]

It depends on the year. Best option? Wait to decide until a week or so before you leave.

 

[ScuffDUFF]

ya tline will probably be pretty "fried" by then

 

[afarrell]

all depends on the weather and what they have left for snow....tline might be closed or there could still be a couple of rails in the ground. Check the site/call before you go.

 

[baaangthat]

youll be hiking whatevers there

i can pretty much guarantee you they wont have a park and most likely they wont even be open. Sometimes on nice weather weekends if the previous season had good snow palmer will open, but in the fall.. it is mostly closed. This year there is no snow.. to the guy up there who said they have a pretty decent park until august.. this is only kind of true. last summer public park was pretty much gone by august so if you wanted park you could go to mhssc and help dig and they let you hike.. this year there is way less snow.. there is no telling how long there will be a public park. hope you got all the info you need now. my advice is not to bring your skis in october.
