- Lifts run past midnight, Fireworks at 10:15 PM, Dinner Buffet and Dance Party with Counterfeit Hits
- Presented by Pfriem Brewing
It’s a Party on the Mountain - New Year’s Eve Mt. Hood Meadows style. For the 50th time a new year will dawn on the slopes of Mt. Hood Meadows. This 50th anniversary edition includes extended night operations until after midnight, a rail Party in the Park freestyle event, a delicious dinner buffet, a tween party with games and music, a 21 and older party with Counterfeit Hits, champaign toast and balloon drop, and a fireworks display (at 10:15 PM).
Lifts run until after midnight
How “suspenseful” it will be to start the New Year suspended between one year and another. Lifts run until after midnight to give you this special “uplifting” sensation. A special 3 - midnight ticket is available online for just $49, or can be purchased at the resort. If you already have an unlimited, night or value pass, you’re Golden!
Party in the Park presented by ReRack
It’s a free rail jam with great grinding and styling. Swag will be distributed, there’ll be some Meadows 50th anniversary trivia for more prizes and music to create a great vibe. The New Year’s Eve Party in the Park will be presented in Shipyard - a free rail jam. Thanks ReRack!
Spectacular New Year’s Eve Buffet Dinner
Talk about a feast - it may be the best dinner you’ll have this entire year! New Year's Eve is a showcase for the culinary talents of new Executive Chef Daniel Dehay and the entire culinary services team. There are three seatings at 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM, and 8:00 PM. Seating times are limited so should be reserved online. Any remaining seating can be purchased on a first come, first served basis at the Concierge Desk upon your arrival at Meadows.
The Fireworks at 10:15 PM
The fireworks can be viewed from the base area or from the mountain (but not from the chairlift) and there is no charge for the fireworks display. The brilliance of the fireworks display, reflection of the explosions off the snow and the reports echoing off the mountain adds a whole new dimension to fireworks. And it’s free to watch!
Tween Party
For the young and young at heart, we have an all ages party with a DJ, games, photo booth complete with props, and snacks going on in the SnoBlaster Room (located on the second floor of the North Lodge) from 8:15 PM - 12:15 AM. A Golden Ticket will be given away during the party, which is a chance to win a 50 year season pass to Mt. Hood Meadows! Supervision is not provided for the little kiddos so be sure to bring the whole family.
New Year’s Eve Celebration with Counterfeit Hits
For those 21 and over looking to party, we have music, dancing and a champagne toast going on in the Vertical (located on the top floor of the North Lodge) from 8 PM - 12:15 AM.
