Oregon Ski Area Closes Due to Flooding: "Our Lifts Are Underwater"

Just when Oregon ski area Hoodoo Ski and Recreation thought their season was turning around, Mother Nature had more to say. Following the storm system that brought significant moisture to the Central Cascades on Sunday and Monday this week, Hoodoo was forced to close due to massive flooding.

Hoodoo, which sits on Santiam Pass just northwest of Sisters, Oregon, reopened just last week after suspending operations earlier this winter due to low snow and a prolonged dry spell that's plagued much of the West coast.
