Lift Operational Hours

The Northwest's most Advanced Lift System

Hours of Operation

Mt. Hood Meadows is open for the 2012/13 season, and is scheduled to operate daily through April 28 with lifts scheduled each day at 9 AM. Scheduled lifts can vary with business levels particularly later in the season. Meadows may reduce operations midweek in April, following Washington spring break, depending on daily attendance. This could affect Hood River Express, Heather and Shooting Star Express, which would affect terrain park operations in Forest Park and Park Place, as well as gated access terrain such as Heather Canyon, Private Reserve and S&R Cliffs. While we would prefer to operate all lifts every day through the entire season, the decision to operate lifts and terrain on the mountain is dependent on favorable visitation to justify continued operations.

NIGHT OPERATIONS HAVE ENDED FOR THE 2012/13 SEASON. Lifts are scheduled daily from 9 am - 4 pm through April 28.
