About skiing in Mt. Hood Meadows
Mt. Hood Meadows has its own Highway 35 access beyond Government Camp. The main base and Hood River Meadows base are different places. Choose the correct lesson departure before reserving transport. Skiing extends from lower wooded routes to exposed Cascade terrain, and the upper lifts or gated areas may close independently.
