Local Info

Places to Stay

There are plenty of places to stay in and around the resort. Some even partner with the resort and offer “ski free” options if you stay at a participating lodging partner. In fact Cooper Spur Resort, also owned by Mt Hood Meadows, is just 8 miles from the resort and offers the closest accommodations to Mt Hood Meadows.

Purchasing Gear

Mt Hood Meadows Sports Shop and High Performance Center offer a wide variety of apparel as well as skis, boots, bindings, poles, helmets, goggles – you name it – they have it. Plus they are conveniently located slope side here at the mountain and offer a price matching guarantee.

Loyalty Program

Mt Hood Meadows also have a loyalty program, where purchases you make at the mountain can be used to redeem ski and snowboard school lessons and other items. Check out the loyalty program – it’s worth it!

Dining at the Mountain

I always recommend trying to eat early or ski through lunch if you can. If you can take lunch at 11:15am ahead of the lunch rush you’ll be in and out of the lodge quickly. Alternatively, take an energy bar with you and ski until 1:15pm and take lunch then. The slopes are noticeably less crowded during the lunch hour, so take advantage of this known phenomenon.
