The central Cascade Range region in Oregon is one of the most popular places for skiers. And Hoodoo Ski Area is no exception to this rule. The ski slopes are located on Hoodoo Butte. A volcanic cinder-cone, it offers skiers or snowboarders wide open terrain.

Visitors are drawn to the snowy landscape, and with an average snowfall of 450 inches per year, they can expect fresh tracks on the slopes every time. There are 34 runs on over 800 acres so skiers and riders of all ages can have a great time.

Hoodoo offers many different types of lessons to suit everyone's needs. Those who are just starting out can go for a group lesson, while the more advanced skiers and riders can opt for private lessons or specialized nighttime lessons that cater to their specific needs.

YAWGOO

A yawgoo park is a very unique feature of Hoodoo Ski Area. The park is accessible off the Blue Valley slope and is great for practicing tricks whether you're snowboarding or skiing.
