Mt. Hood Meadows has paused sales of season passes with the exception of the Nordic season pass. We discontinued sales of our All Access pass in December, and now we've removed Value and Night passes.
Tell me Why?
To our guests:
We are experiencing cases of Covid amongst some of our team members and are being very aggressive about quarantining to reduce the risk of spread. This is very likely to have an impact on some of our operations over the next couple weeks...

With an absolutely brutal weather forecast for this afternoon and evening, we’ve decided to pull the plug on night operations for this evening. We will attempt to run lifts through the day from 9 AM - 3 PM, but we may throw the towel in before 3 depending on the weather.

Due to the road closure of Highway 26 (and no timeline for reopening) we have opted to suspend operations today, Tuesday, January 4, 2022. We expect to resume normal 9 AM - 9 PM lift operations Wednesday, depending on conditions, weather and accessibility. Another 13 to 18 inches is forecast today - on top of the whopping 32 inches in just over 24 hours we’ve already received.

We are not immune to the surging Omicron COVID variant wave which most of the country is experiencing. Meadows follows very strict protocols, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Oregon Health Authority, which encourage team members to report symptoms and test when they feel they may have been exposed. Meadows provides COVID-specific sick leave for team members to use so they can stay at home and isolate rather than come to work and potentially spread the virus to other team members.
Due to suspected off-premise exposures, a number of our culinary team has been asked to quarantine and as a result, we’ve made the difficult but appropriate decision to temporarily discontinue evening restaurant operations.

Kelci Barnes is our Ski Patrol Assistant Manager and wrote this on behalf of our patrol. It will help you understand the efforts that have been made to open gated access terrain, and the inherent dangers that you will find once the terrain is open. Please give it a careful read and as Kelci recommends, if considering entering the terrain once it is open, ski with a buddy, an avalanche transceiver, a probe and a shovel.

We have had an active storm system since we opened on December 12. During the past two weeks, we’ve received over 160 inches of snow - which is a great way to jump start the season. With such huge snow accumulations, stormy weather and virtually no visibility, we haven’t been able to access the upper mountain Vista or Cascade lifts - until Monday.
What it takes to open Vista
As we enter the holiday week with winter storm warnings all over the place, we first want to reflect and thank our team and our guests. In these unprecedented times it truly is remarkable that we are able to experience and share the joy of mountain recreation with each other.
Prepare for our holiday week
As we gather more data about Omicron - the latest COVID19 variant - we want to remind all our guests that a correctly worn mask is required to enter a building, or to ride a shuttle.

As expected, Mt. Hood Meadows has sold out of passes that provide peak day access. This includes the All Access upgrade, the 5 and 10 time passes as well as the Beginner Progression Pass. Still available (although subject to limitation) are the Value Pass and the Night Pass.
