Mt. Hood Meadows (MHM) offers the most challenging and diverse terrain of the 3 ski resorts located on Mt. Hood. Averaging 430” of snow a year, MHM offers some of the best big mountain terrain and amazing views in the Pacific Northwest. A reliable Cascade snowpack comes from the constant winter storms along the Oregon coast and provides a season that lasts well into May each year. Its extensive terrain and gate-accessed canyon skiing earns Meadows a premier status in the West.
MHM offers more than 2,150 acres of skiable terrain and its highest lift-served elevation is 7,300 feet. With 11 lifts, including 6 high-speed quads, the entire 2,150 acres of skiable terrain is easily accessed. Skiing MHM is a big mountain experience, with enough acreage to keep you busy for days. Oh, and let’s not forget the discounts available on lodging and lift tickets during spring skiing season!
The trip includes 3 nights lodging and 2 happy-hour parties. Unfortunately, inflation caught up to us this year at Mt Hood and the price of lodging has gone up more than we anticipated. Darn it!
Lodging:
We are once again staying at the Cooper Spur Mountain Resort, a rustic mountain resort owned and operated by MHM. Cooper Spur is located on the north side of Mt. Hood and sits in the midst of the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. Located just 14 miles from MHM, Cooper Spur accommodations include motel rooms and stand-alone cabins, a resort restaurant and bar and two large outdoor hot tubs. The motel rooms come with refrigerators and microwave ovens and the cabins come with gas fireplaces and full kitchens.
Lodging options include the following
- Cabins
- Motel rooms
- Option for single supplement
Lift tickets:
- All Ages: $59 for Friday
- Indy Pass: $0 per day for the first 2 days! Optional 25% discount based on MHM’s “dynamic pricing” for the third day.
- For a super “3 ski-day deal” buy a $59 lift ticket for Friday and use your Indy Pass for Saturday and Sunday!
Social Events:
- Fri-Sun: On the ski days there will be a group gathering at lunchtime out on the deck of the main lodge (weather permitting).
- Friday: Happy-hour get-together at Charlie’s Mountain View Pub in Government Camp.
- Saturday: World famous DSC happy-hour get-together in the trip leaders’ cabin! After the party we’ll walk over to the resort's Crooked Tree Tavern and Grill for more food and drinks (on your dime).
