As the snow begins to fall and leave a white blanket of powder in the Pacific Northwest, the Carson Ridge Luxury Cabins are tucked peacefully away in a winter wonderland. The fresh snow leaves the perfect winter sports landscape. Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing are some of the most popular activities between January and March. And nearby Mount Hood, Oregon, is one of the best places to enjoy these winter activities. There are some premier ski lodges within an hour radius of our luxury cabins, and we recommend making a day trip to some daring slopes. Here are 4 of the best places for Mt. Hood skiing!
4 of the Best Places for Mt. Hood Skiing
Cooper Spur
The closest ski lodge to our luxury cabins is the Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. The rustic mountain lodge offers a great winter sports facility as well as a farm-to-table restaurant. Located in the depths of the Mount Hood National Forest, Cooper Spur offers year-round outdoor activities to enjoy. Winter is the peak season for the Cooper Spur Ski Area, which features Mt. Hood skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and tubing. The terrain, dotted with pine trees and featuring stretches of meadow, is for beginners to intermediates. After a morning on the slopes, warm up inside the alpine lodge with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and enjoy the pristine views.
Timberline Lodge
One of the most popular Mt. Hood skiing facilitators is Timberline Lodge, the only ski area in North America that is open all months of the year. With 3,690 vertical feet, the Mt.
