Two major Oregon ski resorts will open Tuesday after warm, wet weather delayed the season’s opening.
Mt. Bachelor in Bend and Mt. Hood Meadows about 60 miles east of Portland both announced they would open to the public for winter recreation Tuesday. Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort in Eastern Oregon and Mount Hood’s Timberline Lodge are already open for the season, and more could open by the end of the week.
Three inches of snow fell overnight Monday at Mt. Bachelor to accumulate to 19 inches at the base, the Central Oregon resort said on its website. The resort is also banking on a forecast of colder weather and light snow through the week.
