I was sweating it for a while but in the middle of march already 530 inches so far average is 500. Not as good as last year but laps on mile could be possible into july. YAY

yeah but anyone who was there for the first time last summer will be disappointed this year unless they get 300 more inches in the next month...

ps...memo to windells: build a jump legit line so your kids stay out of public

have i said anything untrue???  i believe all ive said is that its way further from the mountain than they lead on and that they should build a jump line so public park isnt clogged by 50 kids hitting the first jump then standing on the knowls of the rest....

sorry for hating on windells, but from the perspective of an outside observer, it just appears completely unprofessional.  i would be pissed if i were a child promised a private park, only to go and ride the public park all week.  and they could do a better job depicting how far away you are from the mountain, and how close to the highway you are.

how much is a hood summer pass. I see that they have a spring pass for $99, but I think it expires at the end of march. Will they have any legit deals on a summer pass? I can't find anything on the website...

you don't have to apologize... there is plenty of shit to hate on them for. I think the best way to describe the camp is shiesty. I'm saying this as someone who really enjoyed it as a kid and had one of the best summers ive ever had working for them.. but ya real shiesty


im so stoked for hood this summer, I really slowed down on everything but urban in the last year or so and i cant wait to get back in the park . I booked a condo in govy from june 1 to august 1 , pool, sauana, kingsize bed, im fucking stoked . I just really hope the public park is consistently good this year

and they have a public pipe.

Hood is the shit.
Their pipe is cut so ridiculously well.
The jumps and the jibs they have are so fucking fun. Its worth checking out at least once in your lifetime for sure. Camp out at the forest service campgrounds, 20$ a night. Im def considering planning a trip to hood this summer, havent been in a couple, want to go back.

i'm trying to do that this summer too, but i think on $400 you'd be the begging for change kind of bum... it seems like the tickets are pretty expensive, but at least the lodging (camping) is cheap,

depends on what time of the summer you go.  mid-july and on youd be fine, cause you can camp in the parking lot and hike to the park, all youd need to spend money one is food.

Buy food at Winco in Gresham, food is Govy Town is damn expensive.
Camp for free at the airstrip
Tickets are 50$, insted hike up the climbers trail to avoid partol ( I cant stress this enough)

there are about 30 other forums on Hood in the summer that answer nearly all the questions on this forum

No way dude. Lift tickets are 50$ a day. Fuck hiking the park, it takes to long and too much energy. You will need money for gas and food and whatever else. You should bring a couple g's if you wanna stay for a couple weeks, that way you can be ballin when you go out there. I spent like 800$ in a week. Prob should have bought a pass, but maybe next time
