Thanks for the support and we are looking forward to seeing everyone next year for a long season full of deep snow! Fingers crossed!!
Winter Carnival is a little different this year, but we always know how to party at Hoodoo! And the fun is not done... we still have live music, fire dancers, the torchlight decent and our signature firework extravaganza!
Thanks to our sponsors, @coenergyoregon and @cruxfermentationproject for helping us celebrate with all of you.
The weather has been very frustrating this year. We have had a great season so far with what little snow we have received. But, as you can see from the webcams, we don't have enough snow left to even try to be open. We are having a great Winter Carnival today (and thanks for everyone who is here celebrating with us!), but sadly, we will be closed onward until it snows A LOT more.
The short term forecast is for warm rain, but hopefully it will turn around soon. Thanks for a great year so far *in spite* of the challenges... and hopefully we will see you soon in the snow!
Turn Winter Carnival weekend into a mountain getaway. Stay at Black Butte Ranch and enjoy 20% OFF lodging when your stay includes March 14, 2026 for the Hoodoo Winter Carnival at Hoodoo Ski Area.
Spend the day soaking up the fun on the mountain, whether it be ax-throwing, frisbee golf, musical chairs, a three-legged obstacle race, team tube races, pie-eating contests, archery, bingo, or all!
Then stick around for the evening excitement: the Dummy Downhill, glowing torchlight descent, and fireworks over the mountain. With lifts running 9 AM â 9 PM, you can mix skiing and carnival games all day long.
After the festivities, return to the comfort of Black Butte Ranch for a cozy night and wake up surrounded by the beauty of Central Oregon.

The rain has not been nice at all. The little snow we got yesterday has sadly been melted and we are now dealing with ponds again. We will do our best to have Winter Carnival, but will have to do Winter Carnival âLiteâ this year. Due to the lack of snow, there will be no Dummy Downhill and no snow sculptures. We will still have face painting, games, live music and fireworks. We are looking forward to the fun! Thanks for your support and we will see you on the slopes!
Hoodoo will be open Thursday-Sunday this week. We will be spending Tuesday and Wednesday harvesting and hauling snow to strategic locations so we can be open this Saturday for our biggest party of the year, Winter Carnival, presented by our friends at CoEnergy Propane and Crux Fermentation Project.
We love celebrating our favorite season and we will do everything in our power to stay open and have a great carnival, but we may not be able to do things that require surplus snow like the Dummy Downhill and the many snow sculptures we all love. We will do our best to have a couple snow sculptures and will let everyone know by Thursday night if we can build a Dummy Downhill course. We will still have games, live music, and fireworks. Stay tuned for more info and we will see you on the slopes!
