Some say that Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer, and although Mother Nature doesn’t always subscribe to arbitrary calendar dates, parts of the Pacific Northwest were looking a lot closer to winter over the weekend.

A cold front that came across Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana last week moved its way into Oregon and Washington over the long weekend and left Central Oregon’s Mt. Bachelor looking more like the start of ski season than the end of bike park season.

Between Thursday, September 3, and Monday, September 7, 2026, Mt. Bachelor picked up roughly 4″ of snow at its higher elevations. The incoming storm forced the mountain to temporarily close its mountain bike park on Wednesday afternoon, as rain, wind, and the first snowflakes of the season descended on the volcano.

The storm continued through the weekend, causing weather delays for the bike park and scenic chairlift rides, but making for incredible riding conditions in between.

As Mt. Bachelor entered the final day of their summer operating hours on Labor Day, lift ops and bike patrol were hard at work digging out Pine Marten and the top of Redline trail from a pretty solid coating of snow that fell overnight.

Between the significant precipitation that had fallen in the days prior and Monday’s clear, warm weather, summer hours ended on a high note.

As of Tuesday, September 8, Mt. Bachelor has transitioned to their fall hours. The bike park is open Thursday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., until October 4. Conditions permitting, Mt. Bachelor hopes to open for the winter season on November 27, 2026.

Last winter, Oregon experienced one of its worst winters on record, and the ski area didn’t open until just before Christmas. While warm temperatures in the forecast mean the snow that fell over the weekend might not stick around, it was enough to offer a bit of optimism heading into the upcoming winter season.

Mt. Bachelor’s Northwest Express lift has also undergone substantial mechanical upgrades over the summer that aim to help with rime ice buildup, lift stoppages, and operational efficiency on one of the mountain’s key lifts.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.

In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.

The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.

After 40 years, Enchanted Forest, a cross-country skiing staple in New Mexico near Red River, has announced that it won’t open for the 2026-27 season, citing fickle snow conditions and the cost of liability insurance and other expenses, but owners still believe it could have a second life. 

The decision, penned in a letter published by owners Ellen Miller-Goins and Geoff Goins, wasn’t “easy.”

“Enchanted Forest has never been just a business to us. It has been part of our family for four decades, and we know it has become part of many of your families, too,” they wrote.

But they wrote that the last few winters have been increasingly difficult, with the latest being the worst in Enchanted Forest’s history. While they weren’t able to groom the slopes for cross-country skiing at all, they did offer some guided snowshoe trips and yurt stays. That wasn’t enough to sustain the business, though.

A hoped-for sale was meant to keep Enchanted Forest turning the page on a new chapter, but that fell through.

“Continuing even limited operations this winter would require us to take on the considerable cost of liability insurance and other expenses before knowing whether we will have enough snow to operate,” they wrote, noting that they can’t take the financial risk again. 

The two hope this isn’t the end of Enchanted Forest, which remains for sale. Established by Miller-Goins’ parents during the 1985-86 season and later bought by Ellen and Geoff in 2010, the ski area spans about 640 acres of Forest Service land on Bobcat Pass, accompanied by yurts, a day lodge, and an established trail network. 

Enchanted Forest has also partnered with the Indy Pass, the independent-mountain-focused multi-pass that also includes alpine ski areas.

“Through the years, thousands of you have learned to ski here, brought your children and grandchildren here, stayed in the yurts, snowshoed through the forest, skied by candlelight during the Luminaria Tour, eaten far too many calories at Just Desserts and returned winter after winter,” the letter reads.

They thanked everyone who visited Enchanted Forest and the employees and volunteers who kept it running. 

Their letter includes an email for serious prospective buyers or those interested in the future of Enchanted Forest.

Have you heard the news? A mega El Niño is approaching, and every ski resort from California to Maine is now expecting a record-breaking season in terms of snowfall.

You’d better buy their pass now before it’s too late!

Truthfully, many western ski resorts are looking to cash in on the hopeful nature of a strong El Niño following last season, which could go down as one of the worst in North American history. As with any industry in capitalist America, you need only follow the money.

The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) reported a sharp decline in skier visits last season in Colorado, Utah, and most western states due to low snowfall. By the NSAA’s metrics, the Winter of 25/26 saw 15% less skiers than the season prior. The season’s estimated 52.6 million skier visits was 9% below the ten-year average.

Hotel visits were down, restaurant revenue plummeted, ski brands struggled to sell products, and POWDER even felt the pinch in our daily web traffic and social media engagement metrics.

It seemed that by mid-March of 2026, the majority of skiers simply gave up on the season.

A strong El Niño forecast with ill-advised guarantees, wishful thinking, and record-breaking snowfall forecasts, then, is exactly what the ski industry needs to bounce back.

August, September, and October are typically when the big dogs (Alterra Mountain Company and Vail Resorts) sell the majority of their passes, hotel reservations, and other products. Logging a fruitful preseason in terms of sales is something they’re not just hoping for, but practically relying on.

It’s why we’ve seen multiple ski resorts post lofty forecasts on their social media channels, immediately followed by a link to book a ski lesson, secure a hotel room, or buy a pass. It’s all part of a greater marketing ploy to mitigate the pains felt last season.

In reality, yes, a strong El Niño will most likely deliver above-average snowfall to ski resorts like Palisades Tahoe, Mammoth, Wolf Creek, and Taos, but as The Central Sierra Snow Lab (CSSL) proved recently, nothing is guaranteed.

CSSL shared a bar graph of seasonal snowfall totals for its snow study plot near Truckee, California, over the last nine years, during which “strong” and “very strong” El Niños were forecast. Of those nine years, only four logged above the annual median, and three years reported significantly below the median.

“We can see a pretty even distribution of snowfall with 4 seasons being above median, 3 being below median, and 2 roughly at median. If you single out Very Strong El Niño years, then it looks like we could see average to above-average snowfall but our sample size is small,” writes CSSL. “The upcoming season is still a toss-up at this stage, and we’ll only know more once we get closer to winter.”

POWDER has covered long-range winter forecasts from meteorologists such as Chris Tomer and Alan Smith of OpenSnow, but both would probably agree that skiers shouldn’t treat their predictions as the gospel.

Alan Smith ended his Winter 26/26 forecast with a sobering reminder that while our ability to predict weather is improving, nothing is a given: “Seasonal forecasts are interesting, but you should always take them with a grain of salt,” he said. “There’s always going to be factors that we can’t predict months or even weeks in advance.”

Tomer, after displaying a graphic in his forecast of ski resorts that he thinks will receive above-average snowfall due to the strong El Niño this winter, offered the following caveat: “I always hesitate to do these,” he said. “These could be way off.”

If you’re a skier who is lost in the long-range forecasts and hubbub, let me offer you a word of advice—pump the brakes on the El Niño hype train. Pay attention to how forecasts shift as winter gets closer, but don’t put all of your eggs in one basket quite yet.

If you’re trying to plan a big ski trip now to save money, know that there’s not a single person, AI model, or otherwise that can guarantee your trip will be blessed with snowfall and cold temperatures.

Skiing, against the best efforts of oligarchs and oil barons, is still a sport that is reliant on one thing that nobody on Earth can control—Mother Nature.

Despite what your local hill, bucket list destination, or friend keeps trying to guarantee will happen this winter, we’ll have to just wait and see how the winter plays out in real-time, just like we’ve done every year of human existence. Imagine that.

After a prolonged closure brought by enormous snowfall totals, road access to Ski Portillo is reopening this weekend, allowing the general public to make the drive from Chile’s capital, Santiago, into the mountains.

Ski Portillo announced the opening on social media on Friday, writing, “the border crossing will be open to all vehicles — hotel guests, skiers and day visitors alike.” Just east of Ski Portillo, the road passes into Argentina. 

“We can’t wait to see you all up here. The snow is incredible,” Ski Portillo continued, noting that the opening applies to Saturday and Sunday.

Los Libertadores Pass officially closed on July 14 as a headline-grabbing storm slammed into South America, dropping more than 100 inches of snow. Ski resorts got buried. And in the lowlands, Chile faced intense rainfall and flooding. 

POWDER checked in with a member of the Ski Portillo crew, Alec Blossom, around the height of the system last month. He’s spent years returning to the ski resort to work as a guide and instructor, and hadn’t seen anything like it. Effectively stuck in the mountains, they managed to do some skiing when it was safe but also spent lots of time shoveling.

“I think it’s pretty abnormal for everybody,” he said.

Since then, Portillo has managed to bring some skiers to the mountain via helicopter and up the road, making for some tantalizing South American powder posts on social media. The resort did recently note that access was for hotel guests only, though.

Portillo is somewhat unique in that, unlike many major destinations, it’s small and isolated, without a sprawling base village. Hotel guests who buy multi-day ski stays with lift tickets and food included make up the vast majority of visitors, rather than day-trippers. It’s sometimes compared to a cruise ship in the sky.

Even as Portillo hosted some skiers and snowboarders, the extended closure prompted ACESKI, an organization that represents Chilean ski resorts, to speak out and express concerns about impacts to the winter tourism industry.

“Chile must learn to live with the snow and not be paralyzed by it,” the organization said in a release, asking that the Chilean government create a National Mountain Management Policy and create a group to review current protocols and assess new ones.

Portillo’s road announcement follows the news that Los Libertadores Pass had partially reopened for truck traffic on August 18 from Argentina to Chile, marking the end of a 34-day closure, as reported by DataPortuaria.

The snow and the possibility of another road closure haven’t passed, though. Another storm cycle could bring feet of snow to Portillo around the middle of next week, according to OpenSnow.
