We are excited to see the snow return to Mt. Hood Meadows! We are currently not enforcing our uphill travel policy. If you are hiking for turns, please read the following info:

  • There is no sledding anywhere in the permit area
  • There is no patrol
  • There are no hazard markings. Expect visible and barely covered hazards
  • Stay clear of all snow removal and hauling activities
  • If you do come up to Meadows to hike for turns, you must park on the access road. Do not block the gate
  • We strongly encourage you to go elsewhere

We look forward to welcoming you back to Meadows when we are ready to open for the 2026-27 season!
