Heather Chairlift Update:

We know many of you are eager for an update on the status of the Heather Chairlift, and we appreciate your patience. Here's where things stand as of today (1/14/25):

- Parts & Repairs: We have secured many of the parts needed for repairs, including some sourced from the old Buttercup lift
- Progress: Key assemblies have been removed and are currently in the shop for repairs. A new section of communications line has been placed, though it still requires splicing alongside fiber work, and the haul rope needs inspection
- Team Efforts: Heather remains a top priority for us. However, recent efforts have focused heavily on de-icing lifts and getting the upper mountain open, which has taken significant time and resources.

We want to acknowledge and express our gratitude for the incredible dedication of our lift maintenance team. If you see them around, please join us in thanking them for their hard work and commitment!

Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue these efforts.

Update on Heather Canyon:

We are fortunate to have received an impressive amount of snowfall this season and especially as of late, enabling us to build the snow bridges necessary for exiting Heather Canyon and allowing our team access to the area. On Tuesday, the Private Reserve opened, and today (Wednesday), Ski Patrol successfully opened Jack’s Woods, offering exceptional skiing and riding opportunities.

However, we recently experienced a windstorm that caused a tree to fall on the Heather Chair, resulting in damage that requires repairs before the lift can begin operations for that terrain. Our team is actively sourcing the necessary parts, both from our inventory and external suppliers, to expedite the repair process.

We are also working diligently to complete additional snow safety measures, which will allow us to open more of Heather Canyon. Until then, access out will be via the runout, followed by a return on Hood River Express (HRE).

We deeply appreciate the dedication and hard work of our team, who have gone above and beyond during the holiday season to make as much terrain available as possible. We are equally grateful for our loyal guests, whose enthusiasm has made this incredible start to the season even more rewarding.

Please check the Conditions page for updates on Heather Canyon and other terrain at Meadows.

We’re setting off the fireworks tomorrow night 🎆

Come up and join us on the mountain for New Year’s Eve - we’ll be open until 10PM.

Fireworks will start at 9PM, live music will be happening in Vertical from 3:30 to 9:30PM and our rail jam will be running from 7 to 9:15PM.

Even though we usually don’t have night operations on Tuesdays, all night pass holders can come up and join us for the festivities and Value Pass holders can start riding the lifts at 2PM 🍾

We’re stoked to bring the party back to Meadows - see you’ll up here!

We have received over 15 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and it looks like even more is on the way. While it has been absolutely amazing getting this much snow, it is also extremely important to recognize the dangers that come with it.

You’ve all probably heard of Cascade Concrete? Well, that honestly isn’t that far off. The snow in the PNW can be wet and heavy - and what we’ve gotten over the past few days is definitely that.

Now is the perfect time to become aware of the necessary Deep Snow Safety protocols: stay well away from tree wells, always ride with a buddy (and keep them in sight), stay within your limits and in control, and for Gods sake stay out of roped off areas.

Learn more about Deep Snow Safety as deepsnowsafety.org

Our first Peak Day of the season is this Thursday, which also means it’s our first early load of the season for Hood River Express (HRE)! HRE will open at 8:30 AM on Peak Days (weather and conditions dependent) so you can get some early turns in; this also provides an incentive to park in the Hood River Meadows (HRM) lot as opposed to the main lot on busy days. View our operational schedule (link in bio) for more info!

Be prepared for the upcoming holiday weekend 💃🏻

It looks like it’ll be a bit of a wet and wild weekend up here at Meadows. Snow is forecasted to hit throughout Saturday and Sunday and temperatures are expected to drop. Now is the time to start planning and preparing, because in the wise words of Taylor Swift, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.

🚙 Winter Driving: no need to rush up to the mountain. Instead drive safely and be prepared for icy and/or snowy conditions. Have all necessary safety gear with you (ice scraper, plenty of gas, extra layers, food and water, chains or traction tires) and check TripCheck for the latest road and traffic conditions.

OR don’t drive up at all and instead hop on the CAT bus or Park & Ride - both of which begin service to the mountain this Saturday (Dec. 21).

📱Stay Up to Date: sign up for our SMS messaging to get up to date information on what is going on at Meadows and always check our Conditions page for information on weather, what lifts are open, and parking.

🏔️ Take a Chill Pill: it’s the start of the holidays so be ready for busier than usual parking lots and lift lines. That’s why it is important to remember we are all up here for the same thing: to have fun on the slopes. So, take a deep breath, look at beautiful Mt. Hood and if all else fails, the Mazot is open from 10 AM to 7 PM.

Come on up and join us for some great days of skiing and riding this holiday weekend!

At the Meadows Learning Center (MLC) our goal is to create passionate, life-long skiers and snowboarders. And we believe in starting em’ young, that’s why we offer a multitude of kids’ camps ranging from 3 consecutive days to 4 weekends a month. Our programs are a great way to get kids comfortable out on the hill, build important skiing and riding skills, and of course, have a ton of fun.

Starting next week, our 3-Day Christmas Break Youth Camps (offered Dec. 21 – 23 and Dec. 28 – 30) are perfect for kids ages 1st through 8th grade. These camps run for 3 consecutive days and are open for both skiers and snowboarders of every ability. We focus on getting kids into the right group for their skill level and having the same instructor for all 3 days. Rentals and a 3-day youth camp ticket can be added if needed.

Head to the link in bio or the Meadows website to learn more.
