  It's ALL good

  Major props to whoever is doing the managing/marketing this year. Lifties are happy (most important), families are happy (you get the drift), and solo riders are happy too (that's me). Feel like a great balance has been achieved. Keep it up!!

  Snowshoeing with Caden

  If you’re not really into skiing or you want a nice break from the slopes, I’d highly recommend doing a guided snowshoe tour. Our tour guide was Caden and he was such a genuinely lovely guy! I booked the 1pm Umbrella Falls tour and Caden was available nice and early to help with renting the equipment. We departed right on time and he gave a really good briefing about how to walk properly in the snowshoes and how to safely navigate the chaos of the ski school area. We did the longer umbrella trail which had a couple of hills but was otherwise fairly easy going. Caden was so knowledgeable about the area and pointed out things like animal tracks and danger areas as well as showing us the best photo opportunities! The hike was so peaceful and such a great way to spend a couple of hours at Mt Hood.

  Buyers Beware!

  After looking at Mt. Hood Meadow's website and seeing that they had an RV parking lot on site and were open every day through April 3oth, I called them on April 4th to confirm their operating model. At this time, I told the person on the phone that my wife and I were planning a week-long snowboarding trip from April 17th - 21st. I was told over the phone that the RV spots first come, first serve, and we will need an Oregon parking pass to stay in the RV lot. I then told the attendant that we would travel six hours to get there so that we would take our chances with the RV lot. I then asked the attendant about the best ticketing option based on our stay timeline. We were instructed that the Spring Season Pass would be our best option. On that same day, per the phone attendant's instructions, I went online and purchased two spring season passes totaling $502. On Sunday, April 16th, we arrived at Mt. Hood Meadows RV lot around midday. The conditions on the mountain weren't great, so we decided we would get our van all set up in the lot and then make our way over to the ticket counter to pick up our Spring passes and maybe get a few runs in before our first full day on Monday, April 17th. We moved our van to two different spots in the RV lot. Keep in mind the RV lot is attended by staff working at Meadows. At no time during our several hours of setting up the van did anyone of the RV lot staff come over and say anything to us regarding what we were about to learn later that night. Once we had our van all set up, we slowly made our way to one of the awaiting buses to head up to the main lot to grab our passes. While getting our passes, we decided to pay for an overpriced hot Wax. Again while turning our boards in, we excitedly tell the pro shop staff our plans for the week (still crickets). We then proceed to the ticket counter to pick up our season passes, again excitedly telling their staff our weekly plans (crickets still). With passes in hand, we decided to do a couple of runs but decided to call it quits as conditions were poor, and we had all week to get in good-quality runs. Sunday night, there was a significant winter storm hitting this side of Mt. Hood. We decided it would be best to make dinner in our van while sharing a bottle of wine before heading to bed. We did precisely that before heading to bed. Around 9 pm, we heard a knock on our van. As we scrambled to get up and dressed, we were met with a Security Guard stating we had to leave the mountain as Mt. Hood Meadows was closed until next Friday. After I explained my entire story about purchasing the Spring Season passes, I asked how that could be. He said, "This is new to him. He just found out when he came on shift." He did say, "We can have some time to get broken down, but we have to leave tonight." We then proceeded to pack up and slowly descend the mountain until we could find our first safe spot to pull over and sleep for the night. I have sent serval emails to Meadows explaining the above and asking for a refund. To date, I have never received a reply. The bottom line, they failed to uphold their part of this purchasing agreement. Furthermore, they had plenty of opportunities to inform us of their change in schedule, but they did not.

  Just as good as colorado or utah

  when the conditions are right, low temperature and recent five feet of snow overnight, it's as good as going to Utah. I don't feel need to travel anywhere else! short lift lines even on weekends, helpful and friendly staff, veteran discount. beautiful views of Mt Hood and Adams.

  Tix purchased online in advance were not honored

  Funny story about our experience 😐My son and I reserved 2 full day tickets a month in advance by purchasing online. We drove from Seattle to Hood but Meadows had closed their parking lot and their parking crew sent us home…no entry. They said they were full, and no additional skiers could enter the grounds regardless of our reservation/ticket. I mentioned we drove there BECAUSE we reserved tickets in advance, to which they said "Sorry, we’re closed and that’s the reality brah.” LOL – reminds of the Seinfeld – They know how to TAKE a reservation, but they don’t know how to HOLD a reservation….and the HOLD part is the most important thing about the reservation. Oh, they did say although there were no refunds… that we could get credit for another day.
