Great lower key ski resort. A couple black diamond runs, a couple blue squares, and couple green circles. Very few lines/waits to board ski lifts on my Sunday day ticket. I loved the back side Over Easy run. Felt like casual down hill cross country skiing that gradually decedents from the highest slope all the way along the back side of all the other runs and eventually ending at the bunny hill. Great for moderate beginners. Overall great vibes. Lots of families. Nothing ghetto going on, nobody smelled like weed. Sunday adult day ticket was $85 / person (compared to Mt. Bachelor which is around $200 / person!). Free parking. American Express is not accepted here. So bring VISA, MasterCard, or cash to buy your lift ticket and food. Also, there is NO public WiFi. And cell coverage is spotty. Be prepared.

My favorite resort in central Oregon, yes it's smaller than Bachelor but it's also less busy, friendlier, cheaper (season pass is $500), more family oriented, less pretentious, and less catering to out of town yuppies (AKA there's no fastpass here, screw you POWDR corp!). Also I've experienced far fewer mechanical lift failures than at Bachy. You can arrive at 8:30 or so and there's still plenty of room in the parking lot (usually) In other words, it's CHILL. And laid back, and more locals-oriented. Hooray for Hoodoo!

If you like backcountry cross-country skiing, Hoodoo is for you. No grooming. Well-marked trails. Warming huts 2-3 miles apart. Snowmobile trails are a distance away so little sound or exhaust is experienced.

I understand the issues business have with COVID restrictions. I understand mandates and them just doing and enforcing "required" mandates okay. What's not okay, and what I have a big problem with is the fact that "customers" are treated like dirt, literally. There is absolutely ZERO customer service these days. These employees that work for Hoodoo treated me and my son like garbage! Shitty attitudes, zero respect for us and my hard-earned income I spend to keep all their asses employed. All because of COVID. The way the chair lift operator came at my underage son pissed me off! The audacity of these employees and their lack of respect in general was appauling! A simple smile and a friendly reminder to wear a mask would suffice. Instead the "man" came at my son like he was going to toss him out for simply forgetting to have his mask on in the lift line. We had words! Not to mention you still have to pay full price and the facilities as well as the food is all limited, over priced and gross. Don't eat the cesarean wrap! They forced their customers to use 6 porta potties that were just about as nasty as you'd expect them to be at the last day of a Woodstock concert. The guy with a red beard was a complete !@#$ when I approached the OUTDOOR window to order our over priced nasty lunch because I didn't have my nose covered when I approached then windows to order. Then this guy had the audacity to ask if I wanted to tip them. I quickly said no "not if you guys are going to talk to yoyt customers tgr way you do with so much disrespect. All of this can be done respectfully!! A smile and a friendly reminder goes a long way! Your attitude toward those spending their hard earned income in your establishment goes a long way. What doesn't work for me are all these young kids talking down your me, being rude and disrespectful. I will NEVER spend another dollar at Hoodoo.

Happy 70th Birthday Hoodoo! The mountain gods were smiling yesterday and my men came back with sun kissed faces, sore knees and happy hearts. Great day of Spring skiing at Hoodoo. Me: "Did you have fun today?" Son #2": Smiles. "Yeah" Me: "How many runs did you take? 1, 2, 3..." S2: "30" -- Dad says he didn't exaggerate too much Me: "Did you fall down?" S2: Bigger smile. "Yeah." -- Dad confirms there were a couple of yard sales. Me: "Did you crash into anyone?" S2: Look of disappointment. "No." (Note to self - get ski helmet STAT) Me: "Do you want to go skiing again?" S2: "Yeah. I'm going to be a hot dog." This was my 6 year old's second time skiing and this was a great place for him to learn. They loved that the owner is in the parking lot (rockin' a Hawaiian shirt and directing traffic) and that they could watch others attempt the ski jumps. They even spent a little time on a Black Diamond run -- I'm so proud. We'll be back.

If you are looking for a great place to go with friends or to take the family this is it. It's a perfect ski lodge with a staff that feels like family. The lodge is always clean and the rental area and ticket booth gets you in and out as fast as possible. The restaurant has plenty of options and all the food is great, the bar upstairs has plenty of options and there is more then enough seating upstairs and down. The ski instructors are amazing both my kids have taken lessons here and always feel very confident after each lesson. The slopes are always groomed and not over crowed and the chair lift lines move smoothly. The ski patrol is the best they are some of the most caring people and always ready to head up the mountain to help you.

This place is the bomb! I just took my family here for the first time. My nephew and daughter were first time skiers and my son and I are experienced snowboarders/skiers-the staff at Hoodoo made all of our experiences great! From Kelsey and the crew at the rental department to the guys operating the chairlifts (who kept running the lifts when my nephew was practically the only one on the hill and was having the time of his life) to the ski instructors that were so good, you all put big smiles on our faces and memories of a great trip and awesome ski resort. The panoramic view from the top of this gem was a pleasant surprise too. Beautiful resort, beautiful people, I almost don't want to share! Thanks Hoodoo!!!

This place is awesome for a fun filled family outing. The atmosphere is fun and light. The staff seems to actually enjoy their jobs and in turn do a great job at them. Service with a smile. Often quick lines at the lifts. Not heading up the lifts? Snowshoeing, x-country skiing, and sledding are all available instead. Don't like the cold? Beer and fireplaces in the lodge. Have a friend or family member with a disability? Check out Oregon Adaptive Sports. They work with Hoodoo and offer some amazing experiences.
