So Last night a friend and I made the drive down to hood to camp out a few days and ski the public park.
I had heard such good things about it and was super stoked to be getting to go.

So we stayed last night got up this morning and hit the hill only to find out that after you ski through the park you have to take your skis off and hike down the hill like a few hundred yards only to get back on the chair.   What is up with that  for 52 bucks you get jew'ed we ended up getting vouchers for the tickets we bought and packed up all of our shit and left today.

I know its not much for promotion but mabe they could somehow let you know the current conditions.

it sucks, but what're you gonna do? I was there a few weeks ago and had to hike back to the chair every day but the first. I'm stoked i at least got to ride one day when laps were possible. if lapping is that important. really, i was fine paying $52 bucks to ski in july. you should have just been stoked you were skiing.

There is a lot of threads about this in the Oregon forums.  Ya we are gonna go to hike, it will shorten the trip and probably the number of people that will go but I'm still stoked!

the snow on timberline melts steadily all summer. i remember the first day of windells we could ski down to the magic mile but after two days you had to walk a bunch of the hill. Its just how Hood gets in the summer.

Someone didn't do his research... I was skiing there sunday and today and it was pretty fun, the tickets were expensive but I guess thats what happens when they have 25 kids poaching the park every day. The tickets are actually worth it if you venture away from the park for a while and go ski the top.

oh heres the set up sort of, cant exactly remember it, some of the lengths might be off a little.

pipe

20'ish table

30'ish step up

giant propane tank

20' flat box
30' double barrel urban on (PITA to get speed)

rainbow
C box

urban down box
mini cannon rail

down rail

C box

That's pretty much the park I ride... DURING THE WINTER

I'd be stoked to ride it but I agree that 52$ is pretty expensive

pipe - pretty good actually
2 jumps - terrible, small, flat, and not worth the hike or chair lift trip
"giant" propane tank - didnt know 5 feet long was giant
20 ft flat box - lie, more like 10
30 ft double barrel - once again, more like 20 and its actually there best rail
rainbow BOX - sucks, tiny, maybe 5 feet long
c boxes - both suck real bad
down box - tiny
down rail - pretty fun rail


pup park at hood is super played this year, too bad

In 10 days there I rode the chair probably 30 times. Those 3 times a day were for laps in the morning before the park opened. I hiked the rest of the time, and I hiked the fucking jump line nonstop for 4 hours once, probably got in 15 hits on it. I was stoked.

Stop bitching, you're skiing in july. You should be happy that the pipe is solid and salted.

a few hundred yards is true. to hike from the bottom of the park to lift lift is at least a few hundred yards. but its skiing in july/august, you cant expect it to be perfect
