There's a nip in the air and the hot chocolate is going out the door on Mt. Hood in preparation for lots of snow coming our way. Direct from KOIN News weather you can see the accumulations at each elevation. Government Camp is at 4,416 feet so expect over two feet at that location! The bottom of the hill at Kiwanis Camp Road (Forest Service Road 39) off Highway 26 is about 3,200 feet. 

Skiers and boarders are getting excited for area openings! Check the links below to see status of your favorite area. They may be opening as soon as Friday!

Mt. Hood's Hood to Coast Relay Begins Friday!

Thursday, August 25, 2016
by Liz Warren

The biggest relay race in the country begins tomorrow, Friday the 26th. This marks the 35th year of the Hood to Coast Relay run which starts at Timberline Lodge and ends at Seaside at the coast. Locals get ready for the stunning invasion of 1050 teams of runners with 8 person teams plus volunteers and support groups. As locals prepare there are a few places we don't want to be on Friday and that is on Hiway 26 between Government Camp and Sandy during the afternoon. It's a welcome economic boost to our area and we turn our Village over to the runners for Friday.

Spectators can enjoy the whimsical runners outfits and transportation vehicles in all their glory. Vans will be heading to the mountain today and restaurants will be packed this evening for pre-race celebrations. 

Good luck to all runners!

Monday, May 16, 2016
by Liz Warren

A small swarm of earthquakes beginning on Sunday has shaken the ground on the Southeast side of Mt. Hood. Although this is not as a result of a movement of magma, like the St. Helens quakes, it does represent some unknown fault lines which swarm every couple of years. Typically these quakes range in the 2.5 area and lower. Here's the latest news story on the subject at KGW in Portland

by Liz Warren

Still Creek meanders through the Mt. Hood National Forest and is one of the most popular waterways in our area. Not too far up Road 12A you’ll find this odd looking contraption in the water which is called a rotary fish trap.

This trap funnels the smolt, young steelhead and salmon, who are heading back to the ocean, info a holding tank. The tank is checked every day by Forest Service personnel who collect data, measure, weigh and count species of each fish. Once collected the fish are let go to finish their journey. 

The fish trap will only be here till the end of June during the spring migration.
