    Opening date update from Hoodoo. The ski area will open as soon as conditions cooperate. More Info at the link no below. ...

    Dearest Hoodoo fanatics - Unfortunately, we have to postpone our previous opening date for this Friday, Nov. 24, due to warm, rainy weather. We absolutely hate to get everyone so excited for the season to start and then have to reverse course. Sadly, we are at the mercy of the weather and conditions on the mountain. However, Hoodoo staff is now in place and we will be ready to open the mountain as soon as conditions are safe and optimal to pack the base and groom the runs. Colder temperatures and more snowfall should return as early as next Monday. In the meantime, don't forget that Hoodoo's pre-season pass and AnyCard sale has been extended through Friday, Nov. 24. Discounted season passes and AnyCards (five lift tickets that can be used any time with anyone, no exceptions or blackout dates) are available at skihoodoo.com or by calling 541-822-3799. For current conditions at Hoodoo, call the Hoodoo Snow Phone at 541-822-3337 or check out Hoodoo's weather page. Operations and mountain status will change as more snow falls. Updates will be posted to skihoodoo.com and Hoodoo's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We hope to see you very soon at Hoodoo Ski Area.
