A CRAZY WINTER AT MT HOOD ADVENTURE!

It has been a crazy winter so far this year. No snow, lots of snow, snow in Portland, rain, and two weeks of beautiful sunshine! With that sunshine we also had inversion and low lying clouds to the south and southeast. We have been able to ride our snowmobiles above the cloud layer and witness some crazy views. Mt. Jefferson, Three Sisters, and other peaks way out to the south. Our guests, and myself, have pretty much fallen over backwords with what nature has had to offer. We are receiving a little more snow which will make the trails a little nicer, and then expecting more sunshine. This week would be a great time to get out there with us!

There has not been anything dripping from the clouds, but the trees have been sucking the moisture out of the these low lying pillows and fog. There was up to 6 inches of flock layering at least one side, if not the whole tree completely! Every day there is something new to see.

It is a winter wonder land even though there has not been any snow. LET'S GO!!!

What a day!

It is a fabulous day here in Government Camp. The skies are blue, the slopes are groomed and it's LADIES NIGHT at Skibowl!! Ladies ski or ride for only $14 from 3-10 pm!! Don't forget to check out the giveaways inside the Starlight Lodge sponsored by Atomic and Betty Rides. The forecast is calling for more sun and the roads are clear getting up here. Take a day off of work, call in sick, just come up and soak up the January sunshine with the rest of us. There's no better weather to go on a snowmobile tour than sunny, opening still available for this upcoming Holiday weekend. Don't stay at home, GET OUT and come play with us!!

Forcast calls for FUN in the Sun in January!!

The sun is poking through the clouds here in Government Camp this morning. The rain is on it's way out and we are so happy to see it go!! Of course, we would all prefer some fresh snow, but come on, admit it, it it's not gonna snow, wouldn't you rather have some sunshine shining? The sun makes all snow activities more inviting, but don't forget your sunglasses!!

Snowshoeing and cross country skiing has kicked off to a great start so far, lots of new people interested in trying each sport. We enjoy helping people get into winter activities, that maybe were never into it before. Are you the parent that drops their kids off at the Mountain to just go sit at a lodge all day, waiting for them to come back in, hours later, and say they are finally tired and ready to go home? Why not try cross country skiing or snowshoeing? There are plenty of trails in the area, for all learning abilities, and we would be happy to help you find the one that is right for you. Looking for a groomed trail to try cross country skiing? A trail you can take your best furry friend snowshoeing on? Give us a call, or better yet, stop by! We have maps to look at and plenty of free information, including a complimentary map of Government Camp and the trails in the area. If you are one that doesn't like to go at it alone or just want to be extra safe and go with a guide, we can set up on a guided tour, with a little advance notice. We offer two or four hours, snowshoe to bonfire, or get Chopper out on his cross country skis, for goodness sake. If you are coming to the Mountain and have any questions, get bored while your here, or just need a place to stop and get warm, we're your place to come! The fire is on and the coffee and hot cocoa is just down the hall at the High Mountain Cafe. We'll see you up here.....

MT. HOOD ADVENTURE BRINGS YOU BLUE SKIES!

You could be right here! This is me atop Frog Lake butte with majestic Mt. Hood in the background. Blue skies are here for the next week and offering us the perfect opportunity to get outside and explore. Whether you are on snowmobile, snowshoe, or cross country ski's, we can help get you out there! Go by yourself or take us along with you. From the otters and the lakes, to the look out tower and higher elevations, we can point you in the right direction. If you are staying in town, play on the tube hill, take a sleigh ride, or listen to great music at the Ratskellar. See you outside, Chopper
