Mt. Hood Meadows Extends the Ski Season

We are thrilled to announce an extension of the ski season, offering skiers and riders extra opportunities to hit the slopes thanks to abundant late-season snowfall. The extension acknowledges Mother Nature's generosity and underscores our commitment to providing our guests with exceptional ski experiences. 

This extended season means that the previously anticipated closing date is pushed back, with operations continuing seven days a week until April 28th, followed by two consecutive weekends of Friday-to-Sunday operations—May 3rd to 5th, May 10th to 12th, and, finally, Friday and Saturday operations on May 17th and 18th.  

The full mountain of available terrain will be available to enjoy through May 5^th. For the bonus weekends we will have a compact offering of lifts, terrain and food and beverage options.  We plan to run Mt. Hood Express, Cascade Express and Buttercup lifts and be open from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. All food and beverage service will be out of the South Lodge, although the Mazot will also be open every operating day through May 18th as long as weather and conditions permit, with the exception of May 4th (the Mazot team is needed in the base area for the Pond Skim that day).  

Highlights of the Extended Season: 

Loyal Pass Holders Get More: Extra skiing time acknowledges the dedication of our season pass holders, adding incredible value to their investment. 

Take Advantage of Spring: Warmer weather and excellent snow conditions combine to deliver a delightful end-of-season experience. 

Exciting Events: The annual Pond Skim event promises to splash on May 4th, offering an exhilarating spectacle and fun for participants and viewers alike. 

We owe much to our skiing community, a passionate collective whose love for the slopes fuels our operations. The slow commencement of this season has formed the prelude to a sensational and snowy chapter, and it's only fitting we celebrate with additional days of powder, laughter, and shared joy on the mountain. 

We also hope to welcome new visitors to revel in these bonus weeks of skiing, whether they be seasoned pros or newbies attracted by the promise of ideal conditions and the charm of spring skiing. And for those who've yet to secure their passes, the extent of this snow bounty has inspired an exceptional Spring Season Pass deal not to be missed. 

Join us for these additional weeks to cap off an incredible season with even more smiles per hour and powder-perfect runs. At Mt Hood Meadows, winter is not over until we say it's over – and we're delighted to say it'll keep going strong through May.
