The Best Winter Vacation Destinations in Oregon (USA)
From lush forests to snowy mountains to temperate Portland, Oregon has much to offer, even in the wet and chilly months of winter. If you love to ski, you’ve come to the right place, but skiing isn’t the only way to enjoy the Beaver State. Cozy up at a mountain lodge, enjoy seafood on the coast or explore Oregon’s top cities. Expect to travel with some coats, rain gear or at least a sturdy determinedness to get a little soggy and you’re all set to go.

The Best Winter Vacation Destinations in Oregon (USA)
1. Bend.
A frigid winter dawn near Pine Mountain east of Bend, Oregon, in the area known as 'The Badlands.'
Bend is one of Oregon’s most solid destinations in both summer and winter. The area in and around Bend is a veritable winter wonderland. Located in a high desert and surrounded by mountains, you’ll find plenty of snow—up to 30 feet per year in the mountains, but less than 30 inches in town. If a ski vacation is what you seek, then Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort is nearby. There’s also ample opportunity to go snowshoeing, rent snowmobiles or even take a dog sled ride!
2. Sunriver Resort.
The lure of Hollywood, international celebrities, and the mild breezes from the Pacific Ocean makes Los Angeles an obvious addition to the list of top U.S. tourist destinations. Visit L.A.'s famous beaches, such as Malibu or Santa Monica, go shopping on Rodeo Drive, try touring Beverly Hills, and walk along the boardwalk in LA's most famous beachfront neighborhood known as Venice Beach.
3. Mt. Hood and Timberline Lodge
If you’re in the mood for a winter vacation, snow and all, Mt. Hood is one of Oregon’s top spots to find it. Book a room at the cozy Timberline Lodge because there’s no finer way to enjoy a snowy vacation than to pair it with a lodge where you can curl up by a fireplace in your room in the evenings. Mt. Hood is home to not one, but five different ski resorts, including Mt. Hood Meadows, Timberline, Skibowl and Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. Beyond the resorts, there are even more snowy trail systems to snowshoe or cross-country ski, as well as tubing hills to sled or tube down a slope. You want snow, you can’t go wrong at Mt. Hood.
4. Portland.
Portland’s weather stays fairly temperate all year round. So, yes, it does get a little rainy in the winter, but so long as you’ve got the right gear, there’s no reason why Portland isn’t a great winter vacation destination. While exploring the city’s amazing parks (Forest Park and Washington Park, we're looking at you) may or may not be as enjoyable depending on the weather, the city’s amazing dining scene is just as amazing whether it’s raining or not.
5. The Oregon Coast
Winter is not the best time of year to visit the Oregon Coast. Whether you’re looking at Astoria or Cannon Beach or Gold Beach, count on likely a rain and wind filled vacation. Skip heading to the coast for walks on the beach unless you really enjoy sideways rain (and that’s not to say there aren’t lovely days on the coast in January and February, but statistically you’re more likely to get wind whipped).
6. Hood River in the Columbia Gorge
In the summer, Hood River is known as the windsurfing capital of the world. With its incredible winds whipping through the Columbia Gorge, windsurfing and kite surfing are big here. And while those activities mostly lose their appeal when the temperatures drop, Hood River still has plenty of chilly appeal. Like Timberline Lodge, Hood River makes a strong base for ski vacations as Mt. Hood Meadows and Cooper Spur are just an hour away. And, yes, you can still go windsurfing if you want to in the winter... nothing stops Northwesterners from enjoying the outdoors. Just be ready to suit up to stay warm!
7. The Willamette Valley
While you might think of visiting Oregon’s wine country as a summer activity, it’s not like wine stops just because the clouds come out. In fact, warming up with a glass of wine might be just what the doctor ordered when the winter blues have you down.
Boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts dot the Willamette Valley and turn your winter vacation into a cozy get away. Look to the Black Walnut Inn if you want to combine beautiful views, top-notch culinary offerings and a vineyard on the property. Rooms come with a complimentary bottle of wine to get you started.

Monster Storm to Hit the Pacific Northwest Coast tomorrow! 36 foot waves 100 mph winds & Flooding
The left over remnant of Typhoon Songda is set to strike the Pacific Northwest USA Coast tomorrow bringing 36 foot waves, 100 Mile Per Hour Winds and over 22 inches of rainfall. Tornadoes are already underway.
This is a big scary storm.

An EF2 tornado was confirmed in Manzanita, Oregon, by the National Weather Service in Portland.
A second tornado spun up in Oceanside.
Several buildings were damaged, along with power poles, trees and street signs.
More than 6,000 customers around Oregon were without power as storms continue to hit the region.
A rare occurrence shook the West Coast Friday, when two confirmed tornadoes tore through Tillamook County, Oregon.
One of the twisters tore through the town of Manzanita, Oregon, in the morning, leaving damage in its wake. A second tornado was spotted in Oceanside. The National Weather Service in Portland later rated the former twister an EF2.
Social media photos and videos show a funnel cloud that started over the Pacific and then came ashore into Manzanita. Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long confirmed to KEZI that two blocks of the city were hit, but that no injuries have been ed as of yet. Mayor Gary Bullard issued a state of emergency, the Tillamook Headlight Herald ed.
It was a normal beach storm, which we get a lot of, and then out of nowhere the wind went 'whoooo, business owner Debbie Harmon told the Associated Press. Suddenly the whole sky was filled with debris. It was just crazy. And then it just stopped.
The storm damaged several buildings in town and took down trees, power lines around the city, the Tillamook Pioneer Press ed on Facebook. The Tillamook County Emergency Management Agency called the damage severe and heavy, the Oregonian s.
“They're setting up a command center at the old Manzanita Fire Station in downtown Manzanita, the post read. Red Cross is en route. ... There's a power pole arcing along Highway 101 in Wheeler, too. Best not to be out driving in the Nehalem Bay area right now.”
The paper also ed that one woman was trapped in her house due to downed trees blocking the entrance.
The funnel is only the second tornado to hit the state this year, said weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman, the only other touching down on June 8 in Wheeler County. Prior to today, there had been only 4 tornadoes on record since 1950 in Tillamook County, Erdman said. The last occurred on Sep. 18, 1997.
ong told AP that two businesses were destroyed and one home is uninhabitable after the storm. Other homes sustained roof damage. A Red Cross shelter was opened for those affected.
In Oceanside, a second tornado was confirmed about 40 minutes later, KVAL.com s. There were no damages or injuries ed.
The Oregon Department of Transportation said small landslides and high water shut down lanes and coastal routes Thursday and Friday, according to OregonLive.com.
Elsewhere in the state, thousands are without power as a series of strong storms continues to batter the region. According to the Associated Press, Portland General Electric ed that more than 4,000 customers were without power at 5 a.m. Friday. Pacific Power ed that 2,800 customers in coastal communities had no lights, down from a peak of more than 15,000.
A father and his four-year-old son were injured in Seattle when a tree branch fell on top of them Friday, according to the National Weather Service. The father sustained minor injuries and the son sustained serious injuries.
Puget Sound Energy responded to scattered outages that affected thousands Friday in Washington.
Torrential rains, lashing winds with hurricane-force gusts along the coast and the potential for massive power outages are all headed toward the Pacific Northwest over the next few days with meteorologists saying the deluge headed our direction could be of historic proportions.
The looming succession of storms was concerning enough for Cliff Mass, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, to draw parallels between what we are facing over the next few days and the infamous 1962 Columbus Day Storm.
The Columbus Day Storm had its origin as Typhoon Frieda, taking over a week to get across the Pacific, Mass wrote on his popular weather blog. Our Saturday storm started as Typhoon Songda, which is now moving towards us as it transforms into an extratropical (midlatitude) storm. Both of these storms retained some of their tropical juice with lots of moisture and tight, strong low pressure centers.

Is This The Scariest Bridge In America?
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland reaches nearly 200 feet in certain parts and measures 4.3-miles long from end to end - and for some motorists, getting behind the wheel and driving across the bridge is simply out of the question.

Atmospheric River to Bring a Mess of Snow, Ice, Flooding Rain to the West; More Icy Concerns for Portland, Oregon
Freezing rain advisories have been posted for parts of the Pacific Northwest, including the Portland, Oregon, and Spokane, Washington, metro areas. An ice storm warning is in effect for the south Washington Cascades (below 3,000 feet) and for portions of the east slopes of the northern Cascades, western Columbia Basin and into Washington's northern mountains.
Winter storm warnings cover the northern and western Cascades in Washington and a portion of northern Idaho.
Also, flood watches have been posted along western Washington and Oregon, including parts of the Willamette Valley.
On the heels of a period of flooding and prolific snow last week, another deep plume of moisture known as an atmospheric river will surge into parts of the West by the early morning hours on Tuesday.
This feature will then slide down the West Coast and push into the Rockies into the middle of the week, raising the threat of flooding rain, more heavy mountain snow and also possibly laying down another layer of ice.
Let's get into the particulars of this forecast, starting with timing, then with potential flooding, snow and ice impacts.
Tuesday
Wind-driven precipitation arrives in the Northwest, from far northwest California to Oregon and Washington.
Snow levels will rise up to at least 8,000 feet in the Cascades, resulting in snowmelt. This snowmelt combined with any heavy rainfall will increase the chance for flooding.
Freezing rain is also expected in the Columbia River Gorge, upper Hood River Valley and Willamette Valleys of Oregon and Washington. Cold air trapped in other areas of eastern Washington and the chimney of Idaho may lead to sleet or freezing rain, there.
By late afternoon, precipitation is expected to change over to rain from south to north in the Willamette Valley.
Wednesday
Moderate to heavy rain and snow will spread farther south and east into northern California.
Some rain and mountain snow should reach southern California Wednesday night.
Snow levels will remain high in the Cascades, but will begin falling late Wednesday night.
Snow levels should fall to 6,000 feet in the Sierra.
Windy conditions are also expected with the cold front's arrival, with some tree damage and power outages possible.
Snow will spread into parts of the inter-mountain West and Rockies.
Parts of the Great Basin, from eastern Washington to eastern Oregon, Idaho's chimney and Snake River Plain may see freezing rain and/or sleet.
Thursday
Showers will continue in California and the Northwest, but most heavy rain should be over, for the time being.
Snow levels will lower to between 2,000 and 4,000 feet in the Cascades and Sierra.
Pockets of heavy snow are expected from the northern Rockies to the Four Corners higher elevations.
Winds will be gusty once again, especially along the coast and into parts of southern California.
Friday
Another strong low-pressure system may approach the West Coast.
This could result in additional bouts of heavy rain, mountain snow and strong winds.
However, snow levels should be much lower with this storm.
Beyond Friday, our longer-range guidance suggests the storm track will deliver additional storms to California and the West into next week.
How Much Ice?
The greatest chance for accumulating ice will be in eastern Washington and parts of eastern Oregon, as well as parts of the northern Willamette Valley of Oregon, including the Portland metro area. At least a glaze of ice is also possible in parts of Idaho's Snake River Valley.
Slippery roads, not just bridges and overpasses, are likely.

Just Another Day In Paradise! - Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
Chris- Alex - Snowy - Cotton - My Husband and I went to: Sandy River - Multnomah Falls - Bridge of the Gods on July, 31st 2009.
Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet , with a gradual 9 foot drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet . Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon.
A stream of glacial origin, the Sandy River begins in the Mount Hood National Forest, just west of Mount Hood, snaking its way some 40 miles to where it flows into the Columbia River near Troutdale. A long-time top producer, the Sandy offers spring and fall Chinook salmon, coho salmon, as well as both winter and summer steelhead
The original Bridge of the Gods was created during the eighteenth century by the Bonneville Slide, a major landslide which dammed the Columbia River, near present-day Cascade Locks, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The river eventually removed it, but this event is remembered in local legends of the Native Americans as the Bridge of the Gods.
It is now the name of a bridge, the Bridge of the Gods, across the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington.
