SISTERS, OR -- Hoodoo Ski Area will open for the season on Friday. As of Wednesday, they have 17" of snow at the base.

The Manzanita, Ed and Easy Rider Lift will run through the weekend with limited grooming and surface powder. The Autobahn Tubing Park will also be open Friday and Saturday, although the automated tow will not operate until more snow falls,  so tubers must walk up the hill for each run.

Chairlifts will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday through Sunday. The tubing park is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Managers will evaluate conditions after Sunday, and update the schedule. Updates will be posted to the ski hill's website and social media pages.
