Mount Hood Skiing and Snowboarding

Mount Hood is home to not only the oldest ski area in the Pacific Northwest (Summit Ski Area), but it also boasts the longest ski season in the country thanks to the perennial Palmer Snowfield that lingers long above Timberline Lodge.

The mountain and its surroundings bring skiers and snowboarders from all over to five different ski areas, each one unique in terrain, snow, environment, and feel.

• Timberline Lodge
• Mt. Hood Meadows Ski and Snowboard Resort
• Summit Ski Area
• Mt. Hood Skibowl
• Cooper Spur Mountain Resort

There is more to downhill skiing on and around, Mount Hood, of course. There are lots of backcountry and cross-country options as well.

Some of the best cross-country routes:

• White River
• Twin Lakes
• Bennett Pass
• Trillium Lake
• Teacup Lake (Teacup Nordic) 
• Barlow Road
• TIlly Jane (good for snow shoeing too)
• The Nordic Center at Mt. Hood Meadows
