This is the thread for everything Mt Hood Summer Ski Camp, with a title that's easy to find using the searchbar.
MHSSC is summer skiing for half the price of Windell's, with good food, good coaches, and good homies. We don't put pressure on you and we don't ridicule you for not being as good. I should know. I was a camper and now work as a counselor. We do everything we can to make sure everyone has a fun time and learns some cool stuff. That's what we're about. Website is: www.mthood.com

If you want a comparison to Windell's, check out this thread:
https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/532284/

Everything else goes in here. Share your stoke, general questions, and what session you're going. I'll be checking this thread daily and answering questions. Point of this thread is to spread the stoke and get more information out there.

Hope to see some of you this summer!

You can't ski all the way down to magic mile (public park chairlift, or the busses. But other than that it's pretty good

Poles were waxed, boxes were buttered, snow was flying

Not really any great stories but it was just slutty.
The old dude that runs the camp (Mike?) walked in on me hooking up with some racer chick in the Coho TV area in the middle of the day while everyone was at the campfire. It was hilarious

But really, if it's your first time going to MHSSC, be prepared for the best week(s) of your lives. I've had nothing else in my life NEARLY compare to the pure awesomeness that MHSSC provided for me.

(Friend Zach who was at MHSSC last year) "IT'S PATRICK FROM MHSSC!"

Yeah most likely. We ended up spending too much time wandering around there while people were at the DMV.

MHSSC seems like a pretty cool place with a core group of people who love it like a home, which is sick as hell. When I was at Hood, I skied down to Palmer or the bottom a few times a day, and always looked down and admired the MHSSC park for how creative and fun it looked, rope tows or not.

In the lodge this year, I started my morning by meeting my Windells coach at a spot very close to a MHSSC group. I was pretty bummed that a lot of those kids pretty much acted like pricks around and to a lot of the Windells kids, clearly making an effort for themselves to be heard by the same people they were talking to or about. That definitely set a bar pretty low for how those kids represented for MHSSC, but whatever.

I've still got love for the place even though I've never even been. It definitely seems like the camp without the extra frills and fuss. Fun looking camp.

this, i think any good parent would not send their kids to mhssc, thinking that its an undercover place for a human trafficking hotspot.

Trust me ur going to be ok. Places like these need more people to create a better community around what they would like to offer. From my guess you will be just fine! And you will have a great time! The tramp here destroys windells one so u made a good choice singing up for mhssc.

Attendance has never been capped, even when we only had the lower lodge. You'll be good.

I haven't, since I live in WA but I sent them an email seeing if they need me. If I work this year I'll post about it.
But from what I've heard, it's a different experience from summer. A lot fewer campers, and all the camps seem to just ride around more casually. The PNW tends to get a lot of storm systems and precip around winter break as well, but it can be everything from rain to cold smoke.
