Mt. Hood Meadows will stay closed Monday due to high winds, rain and ice and ongoing power outages from recent storms that require the ski resort to run on generators.
Gusts as high as 89 mph have been recorded at Mt. Hood’s Cascade Express weather station. Temperatures are just below freezing at 30 degrees.
Freezing rain has caused icing on the lifts as well as treacherous driving conditions, said Dave Tragethon, vice president of sales and marketing.
