About Mt. Hood Meadows – Your Mountain Home

Come join one of the largest “indie” resorts in the country during one of the longest seasons in North America with 400+ inches of natural annual snowfall. We are Oregon’s largest snowsports school with a staff of 80+ full timers and 300+ part time instructors with a strong commitment to professional development and large training budget. Family owned since 1968 and lessn than an hour’s drive from Portland, Oregon or just 35 minutes south of world-renowned Hood River, Oregon.

Our resort has both day and night lesson operations, as well as running our own Adaptive Lesson Program. This means we have a great deal of training hours available during daily operations for clinics, training and professional development.

Despite our size we still have a “family vibe” like nowhere else. Our team of 12 supervisors, 2 managers and a director have an overall goal to enrich the lives of our team and guests while teaching skiing and snowboarding.

We are committed to your professional development with fifteen (yes 15!) PSIA-NW Ed Staff, Clinic Leaders, Examiners or Technical Team Members.

We are proud of our sustainable operation under the same private ownership since 1968 and we are one of Oregon’s Top 100 companies to work for. All company after-tax profits are reinvested into the resort – we call this the perpetual stoke model with a “team first” approach. Be assured you are part of something incredibly special and unique to Mt. Hood.
