I learned to ride at this mountain resort so it feels like home. Meadows is great and has great staff. Expensive food but great overall. I dont have much to compare other than mount bachelor in Oregon.

As a beginner, they have many beginner friendly terrain. I wish there were more places in the lodge to relax and sit by a fire. Employees are friendly and nice. Wish they could be better about keeping lifts open. I did enjoy their night skiing ops as a beginner! Tho I do wish it was more well lit

Mt. Hood Meadows has fantastic ski instructors and they make renting really easy. The beginner spring progression pass is a fantastic deal for new skiers or snowboarders. Lift lines can get long on busy days.
