Mt. Hood Skibowl Trail Map
Mt. Hood Skibowl’s terrain is compact yet impressively varied, offering 960 acres of skiable space and 69 trails that cater to all skill levels. The mountain is divided into two main zones: Skibowl West and Skibowl East. Skibowl West is home to the resort’s night skiing and terrain parks, while Skibowl East features longer runs and more advanced terrain. The base elevation starts at 3,600 feet and climbs to 5,100 feet at the summit, with a vertical drop of 1,500 feet.
Beginners will find welcoming terrain near the base, especially around the Lower Bowl and Multorpor areas. These zones offer gentle slopes, easy lift access, and ski school support. The terrain is designed to build confidence, with wide trails and minimal cross-traffic. The 21% of beginner-designated runs are ideal for first-timers and families.
Intermediate skiers can explore the heart of the mountain via the Cascade and Skyline lifts. Popular blue runs like Skyline and Timberline Trail offer long descents with scenic views and consistent pitch. These trails are perfect for carving and cruising, and they connect easily to other zones for variety throughout the day.
Advanced skiers will appreciate the steeper terrain off Upper Bowl and the challenging drops near Dog Leg and Olympic. These runs feature tighter turns, natural obstacles, and tree-lined descents that demand precision. The 23% of advanced terrain is well-maintained and offers a satisfying challenge without being overly technical.
Expert skiers can test their skills on the resort’s black diamond trails, including the steep chutes off the Summit and the rugged terrain near Outback. With 16% of the mountain designated for experts, there’s room to push limits. The natural snowpack and occasional powder stashes make these runs especially rewarding after a storm.
Freestyle riders and park enthusiasts will find two terrain parks equipped with jumps, rails, and boxes. The West Terrain Park is geared toward intermediate and advanced riders, while the beginner park near the base allows newcomers to build skills safely. With five park rails and a variety of features, the parks are refreshed regularly to keep things exciting.
