Hello, I purchased your 3x learn to snowboard package and spent my first day on the mountain yesterday in over 6 years. Your instructor, Talon, was just great. He really broke down the steps so that everyone in the group felt comfortable and made the experience fun for adults who were trying hard and not wanting to look too silly.

MT. HOOD, OR (Immediate Release) – Mt. Hood Meadows is registering now for the popular February consecutive ski and snowboard packages. The sessions are scheduled on consecutive weeks – for instance – four Saturdays in a row, and participants can purchase customized packages containing lift tickets, lessons and equipment rentals.

Over the past two seasons Mt. Hood Meadows has restructured its snow reporting efforts, creating a Mountain Communications team (mComm). These communications pros take the job of reporting accurately and immediately changing conditions and lift operations. Certainly last week's extreme weather presented challenges, but also placed mComm in the spotlight.

Enjoy a romantic 5 course dinner at our mid-mountain Snowflake Lodge overlooking Lake Tahoe. Take Lakeview Chairlift up at 5pm and then after dinner take the chairlift back down. It's $285 per couple all inclusive. Space is limited. Make your reservation today by calling (775) 832-1194.

Anyone who lives in Carson City, Minden, Dayton & Gardnerville can purchase a lift ticket for $25 on January 23rd. This is a fund-raiser for the Carson City Jr. Ski and Snowboard Program. (must show proof of residency)

Thanks for a great weekend ski experience. My husband and I hadn't skied for 10 years and this was our 5 year old's first ski experience and we left our 2 year old daughter in the day care.

OK Mother Nature - you win! We're throwing in the towel early today and suspending lift operations at 4 PM. We'll have limited lifts operating through 4 PM then we're heading home to dry off. There'll be no Meadows After Dark this evening.

We're looking forward to forecast snow Monday - as well as the Rotary Night event ($10 lift ticket from 2 - 9 PM Monday).

Hey there beloved park riders, your Park Crew here with some updates about what going on here on the hill.

On January 19th anyone who lives within a 50 mile radius can purchase an all day lift ticket for just $20. (Must show proof of residency)

This week's weather has been - interesting to say the least. Lots of precipitation - mostly in the form of rain or freezing rain, and high winds have affected our lift operations. Going into the weekend it looks like the winds will be settling down but we're still going to get rained on Saturday and Sunday.

MT. HOOD MEADOWS, OR (Jan. 14) - The U.S. Revolution Tour wrapped up its competition at Mt. Hood Meadows, OR with the men’s and women’s snowboardcross and skicross. Hunter Murphy (Deephaven, MN) and Celine Valentin (Simsbury, CT) were able to win the men’s and women’s snowboardcross.

This past Sunday, Jan 9th, I took the women's clinic and had Desiree as our groups instructor. I just wanted to say how GREAT she was. She was patient, enthusiastic and completely helped our group build the confidence we needed to get down some terrain some of us might not have skied before. The other instructors were very helpful as well.

January has been proclaimed Learn A Snow Sport Month and Mt.
