What Makes Mount Hood Meadows Ski Resort Unique?

The variety of Meadows terrain is what makes it so unique and popular. The wide-open terrain off of the Cascade Express (voted most popular cruising terrain in Oregon) offers incredible panoramic views half-way across Oregon from it’s 7,300 foot elevation. Advanced skiers and snowboarders seek out the steeps in the front bowls, or drop in to the seemingly endless pitch of powder-filled Heather Canyon. Explore the double black steeps, gladed tree runs and cliffs through access gates into the Private Reserve and S&R Cliffs! 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 limit available in just one run to almost 4,500 feet. Beginners learn on the gentle slopes of Buttercup and the Ballroom Carpet. Meadows is known for having some of the best terrain in the Northwest.
