The Alpine Slide and mountain bike park will officially open this Saturday and Sunday (June 12-13) from 11am to 6pm. The rest of the Adventure Park will open the following weekend with the bungee jump, zip line, reverse bungee, indy karts, kid's super play zone, kiddy karts, summer tube hill and more.

Looks like we have sunny skies and nice temps for both days. Come on up and kick off the summer with us!

        

With all of the new spring snow DUMPING on Mt. Hood, we have reconsidered and are recalling the staff to come open a day (well...night) earlier than we had scheduled. We are now opening at 3pm on Thursday, April 1st! This is no April fools joke. We are expecting to have over 2 feet of new snow by then. Plan to come up for literally the best skiing of the year.

Check out the new video from the Obstacle Course competition of our Fusion Series. Fun Stuff.

We have gotten an inch of snow each of the past couple of days and the temperatures have hovered in the low 20's. Very nice conditions exist. We are supposed to get more snow today and the next couple of days as well. March is traditionally a big snow month on Mt. Hood. We will have to wait and see if that materializes, but it is nice to see some snow at this point regardless.

We are going to be sending out an email with a great offer for riding many nights this week. If you are not a member of our email club, go to our website and sign up today so that you will be included in the offer.

It is time to pick up your Spring Fusion Pass if you do not already have one. These are a great deal at $179 you can ski or ride until the end of May.

You can get yours on-line HERE, or pick one up at the mountain. If you are upgrading from a Skibowl pass, you will have to do so at either TImberline or Skibowl.

Skibowl will be re-opening on Friday at 3pm and will be open regular hours through the weekend. I don't see a lot of new snow in the forecast for the next few days, but it does look like next Tuesday and Wednesday we have a good possibility to add some fresh inches to our base. We could use it!
