As summer runs late, the mountain slowly undresses it’s nighty of snow, revealing its natural beauty beneath. Painters and hobbyists will join together Saturday, August 27 to capture the mountain in all it’s naked glory on canvas. Provocative? Perhaps. But for those attending the splendor of the mountain and their artistry is let loose with a glass of Naked Winery. Inhibition dismissed - now the artist within takes over and creates a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of the mountain.

Did you ski your age this season? We want to thank passholder Tom Streit for contacting us with this great suggestion:
“I am a multi-year season pass holder. I think it would be great if you acknowledged who skied the most days overall and by age group, not including employees. As you see by Track your turns. I skied 75 days and I am 71 years old. It was a great year and I purchased my 2016/2017 pass today!”

Fresh snow in April is a treat that many skiers never fully appreciate. Five inches of fresh yesterday means some great wintery conditions today.
With warmer weather, we’re giving HRM a few days off. Hood River Express and the Hood River Meadows Skier Services Center will not be open Wednesday, Thursday or Friday this week, but they are scheduled for this weekend (Saturday and Sunday April 9 and 10). Those will be the last scheduled days of operation at HRM for the season, so hit your favorite lines while you can. We’ll see you up here soon!

The prognosis did not look good. He was admitted to Marquis Centennial a skilled nursing facility for rehab, and just seven months later, Bill returned to the slopes.

Just wanted to drop you a note saying what a great benefit the Mt Baker lift ticket exchange program is for Mt Hood Meadows season pass holders! A group of four of us spent last midweek up at Mt Baker, and we were all were impressed with the experience. It was as simple as showing our Meadows season pass and photo ID at a ticket window, and they gave us a day ticket. Pretty sweet!
Would love to see this program expanded to other ski resorts.
Again, a great "value added" benefit to Meadows pass holders!
Thanks!

A huge thank you to my ski instructor, Kevin ( I think his last name started with a H) for making my first downhill ski experience a great one today. His enthusiasm & obvious passion for his sport were obvious and contagious. The entire group of beginners felt good about even tiny amounts of progress with his encouragement. He made it a really fun experience. I will be back for more downhill for sure. Give Kevin a raise!
I might add that my two sons (ages 5 and 11) took snow boarding lessons while I took my ski lesson and they also had a very good experience as well as a lot of fun. We were really impressed with the level of one-on-one attention that the kids received. I do not know the name of their instructors or otherwise would let you know.
We specifically chose Mt Hood Meadows as a place to take lessons as we had asked around and been told that it was the best place to give downhill and snow boarding a go. I have been cross country skiing for 20+ years and was glad to have the chance to give another snow sport a try. We plan to return to Meadows!
Thanks Again!!!

Our sons both had lessons on Sunday, January 24th. My older son was taking snowboarding with Michelle and my younger son was skiing with Carver. Both teachers were excellent. I'd especially like to thank Carver for his patience with our 5 year old, Soren. Carver was able to help Soren make a lot of progress! Carver also ended up rescuing our family after our car broke down in the parking lot. He connected us with a family friend so that we could get home to Portland when our car was towed. Thanks also to the concierge desk staff that kept our suitcase and gear for us during the day.

I came out to your Rotary night on 1/18/16, and I want to praise the Ballroom Carpet attendant Danby! For the four hours that I was there (trying to get a hang of snowboarding) he was perfect! He patiently taught everybody how to board the carpet, helped them, encouraged them, praised them. He was the highlight of my evening. Thank you!

The last time I tried snowboarding I didn’t have a lesson, I was silently disappointed in myself that I didn’t give it a true shot. I knew one day I would tackle snowboarding again, but next time with the right mindset. That time came last week when I had the chance to work with Mt. Hood Meadows to learn how to snowboard.
