During our week on snow we will be riding a variety of terrain with access to the entire resort, including Timberlines exclusive rope tow parks and airbag jump in their Freestyle Training Center (FTC). We will also have the opportunity to take big laps on both the Magic Mile and Palmer chairlifts (Magic Mile chair features Timberlines public park). The week will be focused on freestyle progression while also exploring the epic sights on and around Mt. Hood. With an insane 3 to 1 guest to host ratio you can't get an experience like this anywhere else.

Mt. Hood is the summer snowboarding mecca of North America and is one of the most iconic destinations a snowboarder could choose to visit. It is the best location to get on snow during this time of the year. You can expect personalized coaching every day on-hill with video review to see your own riding and help visualize how to improve. Whether you want to work on jumps, rails, boxes, or butters we have the tools available to make it happen.

Get advice from our crew including Daisuke Watanabe, a professional rider from Hokkaido, Japan with some of the smoothest style you'll ever witness. With a combined 60+ years of riding experience we are here to help with any progression goals you have. Regardless if you are here to hit your first box, or already love the park and want to land your first 720, we have the skills and experience to make sure you walk away with an abundance of value and new skills to take into next season.

For 2025 we plan to make the hike up to the iconic Illumination Rock as an optional post-session activity. We also plan to spend an afternoon exploring the lush forests of Oregon, with a short hike to a beautiful location known as Little Hawaii.

The main goal of the week is to enjoy riding and progression with friends, experience the joy of summer snowboarding, and see first hand what Mt. Hood has to offer!

Questions You May Have

What airport do I fly into?

You should plan to fly into the Portland airport (PDX) on June 22nd, 2025. It would be best to arrive in the late morning, however we will do our best do accommodate your arrival time and minimize time at the airport. Please book your departure flight at 10am or later to ensure a comfortable departure day

Is transportation to and from the airport included?

Yes, a shuttle to and from the airport will be provided.

What's the weather like?

In June, you can expect varying temperatures between the morning and afternoon. It can be in the 30's in the morning and up to the 50's by lunchtime. I typically start the day with a hoodie, midlayer, or light jacket and shed layers to just a long sleeve t-shirt later in the day.

How are the summer snow conditions?

You can expect conditions similar to spring snow at your local resort. It is common to encounter somewhat firm groomers for the first lap of the day down to the FTC that quickly become slushy as the day progresses.

What should my ability be? 

We suggest that you be able to confidently ride BLUE and BLACK terrain to ensure you can comfortably navigate the slopes on the volcano. Terrain park experience is helpful, but not required. Beginner and progression features will be available.

What board should I bring? 

We suggest bringing your favorite park, or freestyle friendly board that you would like to ride in the FTC. An all-mountain board would also work well on Mt. Hood, however we do plan to spend a significant amount of time riding freestyle features. You do not need to bring a directional or powder snowboard.

What is the guest to host ratio?

With 4 hosts and a cap of 12 guests for 2025 you can expect no more than 3 guests per host.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

After purchasing a spot on the tour, you will be sent a google form sheet which has a section for you to fill out any dietary restrictions you may have.

We will do our best to accommodate your needs however, this cannot be guaranteed.
