Ski for FREE All Day

Government Camp, OR – On April 29, 2012, Skibowl will open its slopes for free to close the late winter season. Customer Appreciation Day is an annual event to extend appreciation to the clients & community of Mt. Hood Skibowl. This event will officially close out the ski season.

“The winter transition to summer is bitter-sweet. The clients and weather played hard this season. There was so much excitement: the introduction to cosmic tubing, the great turnout for the annual charity events sponsored by Skibowl, the amazing snow fall. It was definitely an epic season. I’m thrilled to blast into the summer season. We have some exciting activities planned,”

said Kirk Hanna, Mt. Hood Skibowl owner and operator.

For twenty-four years, Skibowl has partnered with the Portland Police Sunshine Division to raise awareness and food contributions for those less fortunate. The Sunshine Division will provide barrels to collect donations. Skibowl requests a donation of four cans of food, though lift tickets are free for all, and the Snow Tube & Adventure Park will be half-off during the day on Sunday.

The Skibowl staff is excited for the summer line-up of activities as the transition from winter to summer progresses at Oregon’s most exciting summer destination, the Mt. Hood Adventure Park with over twenty attractions. The Alpine Slide and other summer attractions will be in operation. Additionally, the luxurious and spacious Collins Lake Resort will continue to provide great lodging throughout the season. It’s going to be a great spring; this event is a spectacular introduction to a fantastic new season and celebration of the last day of snow activities at Mt. Hood Skibowl. We encourage everyone to join us for Customer Appreciation Day.

Hood is the least I can do to show my appreciation for their daily commitment to serving us,” said Kirk Hanna, owner and operator of Mt. Hood Skibowl.
