Official MHSSC thread

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!

Katniss_Everdeenhad a really poor time here


Most likely your own doing. I probably was a camper here longer than anyone every. If it was the "people" then you didn't try to be friends with kids. If you didn't like the actual camp part I'm not sure what to tell you. The only downside of mhssc is hiking.

They're gonna be off doing their own thing. I know Kieran is going to Norway for a solid chunk of summer. Been hanging out with the Bunch too much haha. But Shea is back, and he's a legit coach. I was in his group my last week as a camper and his first week as a coach a couple years back.

Bump for a snow update. The farming is on, and things aren't doing too bad up on Palmer. More info in the link below:

The groomers killed it with the snow farming this year so Palmer snowpack is pretty average, but anything below that is sorta fucked. Mile park will probably have to be moved up to palmer by july and mile itself wont be lappable much into June. You best get out here ASAP haha

Im heading out june 15th and staying till july 15th. Idk much about hood but im assuming the mile is the lower park before you get up to palmer? I know snow levels are low so Im expecting that ill be doing a lot of hiking haha.



By the looks of the ns snapchat the lower part of timberline looks pretty rough.

palmer is pretty much all private lanes (windells, hcsc, mhssc, race lanes, etc) until like august when the camps wrap up. mile is lower than palmer but still above the lodge/tree line. the ns snaps youre thinking of are from a different lift, but yeah the snow is super low. maybe not the best summer to spend out here, but fuck you'll be skiing park well into july which is sick regardless.

Mile lap will be gone, so yeah hiking is gonna be a thing. Normally lose that lap July 4th ish. Snow might not even be all the way to the lot by then. Kind of a bad year below Palmer.
