Mount Hood lies 50 miles east of Portland and is visible from some of the higher elevations in the city such as the big bridges over the Columbia. The 11,249 foot tall peak is a dormant strato-volcano with 12 glaciers. Mount Hood has the following ski areas: Timberline, Mount Hood Meadows, Ski Bowl, Cooper Spur, Snow Bunny and Summit. Oregon's highest and most climbed mountain, it was named in 1792 after British Admiral Samuel Hood. Leave a Comment

There are 4 places to ski on Mt Hood.
Mt Hood Meadows: The largest and most crowded site. Parking is tight and if you don't get here early you get stuck in the overflow lot and bussed in on old school bus. The mountain is good but beware the wind at the top. Also come ready for continuous light snow! If it is raining in Portland its snowing here ( pss it rains a lot in Portland)
Timberline: A nice smaller resort with every more limited parking. The lodge is historic. The wind is wicked here so beware or dress WARM. When the sun shines it is a beautiful place.
Coopers Spur: A small single lift, single rope pull and a two tubing pulls. Cheap and a great place to teach your kids for under 20 bucks. But as the price says there is no amenities here. You don't pay much and you don't get much. You get a great private lesson for 20 bucks. Its owned by the same people who own Mt Hood. They want you to get the ski bug here then spend big bucks at Meadows.
Ski Bowl: Advertised as having the largest night time skiiing. Very low elevation so snow is the worst of the 3 big resorts. Short and many advance runs, the closest resort.
