Summit is the oldest ski area in the Pacific Northwest, and was the first on Mount Hood. Since our beginnings in 1927, we have continued to provide a safe, family oriented area that is easy to get to, and best of all, extremely affordable. Summit Ski Area, established in 1927, is the second oldest continuous operating ski area in the United States. Summit’s base elevation is 4,000 feet and has 306 feet of vertical lift for skiing. The Winter Sports Facility, as it was referred to many years ago, was developed in the Government Camp area as a result of a massive rescue search for lost skiers during a storm New Year’s week in 1926.

One of the most key components to any resort, and particularly as it pertains to a mountain resort, is its location. Is the resort located prominently near or on the mountain? Is there convenient and easy access to the resort? These are just some of the initial questions to ask of any ski resort let alone one in which you plan an extended vacation around. It would additionally be a shame if the resort did not offer grand views of the surrounding area.

Another important feature to consider is how close to various recreational activities is a ski resort. For the most part, you want a resort that is centrally located so that it is convenient to participate in everything from skiing/snowboarding to snowmobiling in the winter and mountain biking to kayaking in the summer. The various activities around the resort should also play a key factor in determining whether or not you stay there. Ideally, the resort and its partners should offer a wide variety of outdoor activities for both winter and summer seasons including, but not limited to: skiing/snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowtubing, hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and a whole host of other activities.

When it comes to your actual living quarters and the resort itself, you should only expect the best amenities. Heated pools and hot tubs are always a nice treat in the winter whereas a refreshing dip in a cool pool on summer days is ideal. For extended stays, it’s always nice to have an on-site gym so that your regular workout routine is not disrupted. Additionally, any great modern-day ski resort would offer wi-fi internet access both in rooms and within their main lodges. Other amenities to consider are: the quality of the concierge, dining options available, luxurious in-room accommodations such as fireplaces, and of course access to the surrounding ski slopes.

Ultimately, some mountain ski resorts are better than others. For your own benefit, however, take the time to make sure the resort you book with has a host of outdoor recreational opportunities, is convenient to access, and offers five-star amenities that you would expect.

We are currently requiring a 5 night minimum for stays between December 16th-January 1st and there is a 3 night minimum for MLK Weekend. Guests that book now will receive the lowest rate that will be offered for these peak time periods.
