It’s almost time to say goodbye to Hood River Meadows (HRM) early loads 🌅

The final day of 8:30 AM loads on Hood River Express is March 2nd - which is also the last Peak Day of the season (hint hint Value Pass holders…).

Take advantage of this early start to the day while you can. And also consider stopping by Mount Hood BBQ for your breakfast and lunch needs (veggie and vegan options are available). You can find them on the left side of the HRM lodge from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, Fridays through Sunday.

Don't duck our ropes.

We understand that it might be tempting to ski or ride back to your car parked in the HRM lot at the end of the day. But this isn't just breaking the law (and not just Meadows law but Oregon law), it's also very unsafe. Why?

Because once the rope lines are up, our snowcats head out to start grooming the slopes that everyone enjoys exploring during the day. And they begin their nightly operations over on the north side of the resort (AKA all of the terrain accessed by the HRE and Star lifts, including Forest Park and all runs from the top of Stadium down). Snowcats are big machines that can cause serious damage. They also cannot get their work done while you are skiing and riding there.

Also, that part of the mountain is not lit up like it is over on MHX. And those runs get daaarrrkk. This can lead to injury and/or getting disoriented. Both of which are clearly not good. Ducking ropes puts you, whoever you are with and our team in an unsafe position. And no one wants that.

Finally, if you do duck our ropes and we find you, we have no problem pulling your pass. So is one run really worth losing a season over? Likely not.

INSTEAD how about you take a shuttle back down to your car? They run from the Main Lodge to HRM until 4:30 PM Monday and Tuesday, and 9:30 PM Wednesday through Sunday when we're open for nights.

A little note on our Expert Terrain 🏔

Heather Canyon, Clark Canyon and Private Reserve (PR) gives you access to some of the most exciting terrain Mt. Hood has to offer. But by entering our gates, you are accepting a high level of risk.

We want you to be go in with eyes wide open and know how to manage the various terrain that these areas offer on a day-to-day basis. Remember: hazards do exist in these areas - including such things as sliding or falling ice, hidden and/or visible cracks and holes, deep snow and tree well suffocation hazards, limited visibility, and additional unmarked obstacles. Our team also wants you to understand that rescue will be fairly extended from these areas.

Learn more about our expert terrain, and other important things to keep in mind before entering the gates, on our new expert terrain signs (found at the tops of various lifts and at all gates).

Heather Chair Update:

We’re just as excited as you are about the upcoming snow and wanted to share an update on Heather lift. Our team has replaced several damaged parts and was able to get the lift turning to complete necessary line work. However, during thorough testing, we identified additional repairs that need to be addressed resulting from a large hemlock tree that snapped off mid-tree and fell directly onto the haul rope and adjacent towers during a December wind event.

Accordingly, the lift will not be available this weekend while we continue working to ensure it is fixed properly. If snow conditions allow, we plan to open Heather Canyon in a more traditional “old-school” style, requiring exit via the runout.

We appreciate your patience and confidence in our team. Safety and reliability are our top priorities, and we are taking the necessary time to complete repairs in a professional manner. Of course, we will keep you updated on our progress and can’t wait to get you back out via the lift!

January is National Safety Month and we’ve been doing a series of safety posts to help raise awareness. Today’s topic is collisions and how to avoid them.

There are three main actions you can do to avoid collisions on the mountain:

- Be Ready (to slow down, to avoid others and objects, to stop if necessary),

- Stay Alert (keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings and conditions),

- Plan Ahead (remember to ease up on blind spots, always check uphill when merging onto a run, and give others plenty of space).

For more safety tips, visit NSAA.org.

Looking on the bright side of this sunny weather ☀️

AKA why this dry spell ain’t that bad:

🏔️ Great views, especially of the surrounding peaks (including Mt. Jefferson, the Sisters and even Mt. Bachelor).

⛷️ Hard and fast groomers day in and day out.

🌞 Sunny weather is a great time to learn to ski or snowboard as it is much easier to get out on the hill when you aren’t being blasted in the face with snow.

🛹 Terrain parks aren’t in storm recovery mode. Meaning you can hit as many boxes, rails, and jumps as you want.

💊 You very likely won’t be Vitamin D deficient.

🍺 Spend some time out on our decks enjoying our numerous food and beverage options. The Mazot is especially nice right now.

🥽 This is a great opportunity to wear your cool new polarized goggles and colorful fit.

🚧 You won’t even miss not having the Heather chair since the canyon is a no-go zone right now.

💺 Get a front row seat to the beauty that is Mt. Hood.

🚙 The roads are mostly bare so you don’t even have to worry about putting on chains or those sweet tire socks.

Are we stoked for more snow? Yes. Are we trying to soak up the sun while we can? Also yes. It’s all about perspective 😉

It would probably sound like this.

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.

Holiday Weekend Update ☀️ It’s gonna be a busy weekend up here. Expect traffic - both on the way up to the mountain and when headed back home (check TripCheck and consider driving down Hwy 35 to possibly save some time). Or consider sticking around and listening to live music in Vertical from 3PM - 6PM (this weekend it’s sponsored by @503distilling). The weather is looking nice and sunny (for the foreseeable future…), so come prepared with plenty of sun protection. Though it will likely be quite chilly in the morning - pack those layers. We are once again offering early load at HRE (first chair takes off at 8:30 AM). Consider parking there and avoiding the Main Lot mayhem (and maybe grabbing some BBQ for lunch @mount_hood_bbq). Come up and join us this weekend for some sunny laps - we will be open until 9PM all 3 days! #yourmountainhome #mthoodmeadows

Got to love Mt. Hood’s wild winter weather ❄️💨 This weekend we had sun, wind, rain and snow (not entirely in that order). We also had quite a few people. And it’s looking like this trend will continue for the next few weekends (if you can, consider carpooling or riding public transportation up to the mountain). Thank you to everyone for coming up for some awesome skiing and riding these last few days. And a huge thank you to our team for all of your hard work. We’re stoked for even more epic days up here on Mt. Hood. We hope you’ll join us (but seriously, try to ride the CAT bus). #mthoodmeadows #yourmountainhome

Happy first (official) day of winter! ❄️ But man what a winter season it has been already: snow, sun, snow, sun. Mother Nature has been good to us already, and we are stoked to see some more snow in the forecast. Come celebrate the darkest day of the year with us up here on the slopes! #mthoodmeadows #yourmountainhome #wintersolstice

Here is it, your moment of zen. The season is upon us! #letitsnow #winteriscoming #yourmountainhome #mthoodmeadows #snowday
