What's it like at Mt Hood Meadows resort?
Mt. Hood Meadows offers arguably the most spectacular and varied terrain in the Northwest. We have a huge mountain with terrain for everyone, magnificent views and snowfall beyond belief. The staff are committed to providing you with a truly memorable and unique experience that is Mt. Hood Meadows. From the steeps of the front side bowls to the gentle slopes of our beginner runs, Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort terrain is known for its diversity and playfulness. Voted by Oregonians for having the best crusing intermediate terrain in the state, Meadows offers more than 2,150 acres of pure enjoyment. Rising to its highest lift-served elevation of 7,300 feet, you’ll feel like you’re on the top of the world as you take in a panoramic view to the east and south. Legendary Heather Canyon is like its own separate ski area - endlessly steep pitches of powder into the spectacular Canyon. When snow conditions permit, there’s an additional 1,700 vertical for hikers who want to drop into the double blacks of Super Bowl above Heather, to bring the total vertical available in just one run to almost 4,500 feet. Meadows has something for every snow enthusiast. With 12 lifts, including six high-speed quads, all the skiable terrain is easily accessed. Meadows also offers Nordic skiing, with a total of 15 groomed kilometers for both skate skiing and classic skiing. For park riders, we have 5 parks along with a minipipe and a superpipe.

Visitor Reviews of Mt Hood Meadows
Beaverton Brat from United States writes:
Been off and on, currently more off than on at MHM for 20+ years. I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt but you can only do that so long. The lines on weekends have gotten out of control, yet they'll still sell a walk up ticket. All over the website regarding size of resort Heather Canyon is noted, but it's rarely open mid-season when the storms are rolling and when it is, it's always later weekend. Must take a lot of ski patrols. I've waited for the ribbon to drop and found tracked out skiing in the canyon after fresh powder, so be it, perk of mountain staff. Having skied pretty much everywhere in the Northwest from Whistler through California, multiple trips to Canada B.C. etc, I think MHM could learn a lot from other resorts. I'll go there as a last resort, but if I can travel, I generally choose to. For me at least, the cost anymore with the lines and lack of access to supposed terrain is frustrating. I prefer challenging terrain, and MHM has some but it's often not accessible for a reason. Therefore, that just compounds frustrations. Take it for what it's worth. May your shred be gnarlable, and your gnar shreddable.
