Mt. Hood Meadows is extending its ski season, thanks to current snow conditions. The previously anticipated closing date has been pushed back, with operations continuing seven days a week until April 28th, followed by two consecutive weekends of Friday-to-Sunday operations—May 3rd to 5th, May 10th to 12th, and then Friday and Saturday operations on May 17th and 18th. The full mountain of available terrain will be open through May 5th. For the bonus weekends the ski area will have a compact offering of lifts, terrain and food and beverage options. Meadows General Manager Greg Pack says for the weekend operations in May they plan to run Mt. Hood Express, Cascade Express and Buttercup lifts and be open from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. All food and beverage service will be out of the South Lodge.
