The mountain is home to three ski areas; Mt Hood Meadows, Timberline and Mt Hood Ski Bowl. The largest is Meadows, which is where you are likely to do most of your skiing (resort stats are for Meadows). It has the most varied terrain including Heather Canyon for some serious off-piste terrain. You should fit in at least one session of night skiing at Ski Bowl which has the most extensive night skiing in the US, with even the black terrain lit up.
Mt Hood is official an active volcano, but it hasn't erupted in over a century and is now better known for huge amounts of powder - over 10 metres per year.
To lengthen the trip, why not enjoy a night or two in Portland and sample the best beer in the world, or you can also ski Mt Bachelor on an Oregon Trail Ski Safari.
"Exploring Mt Hood's three resorts whilst staying in the cool Hood River or at the historic Timberline Lodge is a real experience - tons of snow, interesting terrain, quality beer and amazing views across Oregon."

Accommodation in Mt Hood
We recommend you stay in the nearby town of Hood River, a funky little place with a handful of shops and restaurants and, as it's Oregon, a few quality local breweries. We also recommend at least one night at the historic and charming Timberline Lodge which offers a fantastic experience, especially for fans of The Shining who will recognise it as the exterior of the Overlook Hotel! We’ve stayed at or visited all our Mt Hood accommodation, so we can give you first-hand advice and recommend the best options for you.Our Prices
