Hoodoo Ski Area reopens for the weekend, days after heavy rain brought flooding, forcing its closure

SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The challenging off-and-on season is back on again at Hoodoo Ski and Recreation Area, which reopened on Friday, a few days after heavy rainstorms caused flooding that forced its closure. 

“Fortunately, the waters have largely receded and things have firmed back up, so we are able to bring you some fun once again,” the resort said in Friday’s mountain conditions report. 

The snow base remains low, at 25 inches, but the resort called it a “perfect spring day. ... With light winds, mostly sunny skies and a high near 46 degrees, it doesn’t get much better.” 

Early-season conditions are still in place, so visitors were urged to “please keep an eye out for marked, unmarked and hidden hazards, right with caution and, as always, scout before you send it.” 

Hoodoo had reopened on Thursday, Feb. 19 after a mid-winter shutdown caused by days of warm, dry weather.
