"Originally, Hoodoo planned to close on Wednesday, February 4, for a full assessment day to evaluate conditions and preserve what little snow remained. Forecasts calling for daytime highs above 50°F throughout much of the week raised concerns about accelerated snowmelt on an already fragile base. At the time, the resort expressed cautious optimism that shoveling and snow management efforts could allow limited operations to resume later in the week."
"Hoodoo said they remain hopeful that a forecasted pattern change next week could bring colder temperatures and new snowfall, allowing the ski area to reopen as soon as conditions safely permit. However, no reopening date has been set, and the closure is now considered indefinite. Guests who purchased lift tickets for days the resort will be closed will have funds credited to their accounts for future use. Refunds will also be issued upon request."
Hoodoo Ski Area will suspend operations indefinitely because warm temperatures and a critically thin snowpack have degraded the mountain. The resort initially planned a full assessment day on Wednesday, February 4, to evaluate conditions and preserve remaining snow after forecasts predicted daytime highs above 50°F. Staff had hoped shoveling and snow management could permit limited operations later in the week, but repeated terrain surveys showed conditions are no longer sustainable. Operations are halted until meaningful snowfall returns, with hope for a colder pattern next week but no reopening date set. Lift ticket credits and refunds are available to affected guests.
