EAT
A little taste of Germany on the mountain. This culinary gem doesn’t disappoint.
Nothing beats these dogs. It’s too bad they’re only open in the summer!
A pit stop every skier and snowboard must make on their way up to the mountain.
SHOP / RENT
Skiwear, snowboards, snowshoes and more!
Since 2006, the Govy General Store is the go to spot for grocery needs while you’re on the mountain. There’s an in-store bakery, deli, liquor store and wine department – it truly is a one stop shop! Open 7:00 am to 8:00 pm daily.
Great for summer gear too!

SKI & SNOWBOARD RESORTS
While visiting Mt Hood, be sure to check out the historic Timberline Lodge. Walk the halls that have welcomed Presidents and First Ladies and have been the backdrop for major motion pictures. The resort is home to the first chairlift in Oregon and the second ever built in the United States. The Lodge celebrated its 75th birthday in 2012. It took only 15 months to build, using resources collected from the area and built primarily by hand. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1977 by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Meadows celebrated its 40th birthday in 2008, making it the second oldest resort on Mt Hood. It was the first resort in the NW to install a reader board in Sandy – a halfway point between Portland and the mountain – to inform travelers of the slopes conditions. The resort is also committed to being environmentally conscience. All of its energy is from clean wind energy, and it works hard to minimize its water footprint.
