Willamette pass is one of my go to mountains. It's on the smaller side but is not usually that crowded which makes it feel bigger. No waiting in long lines for the lift. The lodge is spacious and nice. Food is pretty standard for a ski mountain. People are super friendly. The mountain itself is stunning. Views of a huge lake and you can see the clouds. It's beautiful. Ticket prices vary by day and how far in advance you buy. They have a reloadable card which is great. When you buy a ticket it automatically goes to the card so when you get there you can just hop right on the lift. Overall, solid mountain for a day trip. read more

Best value for a ski resort probably in all of America. I've never heard of a ski resort charging $20 for a lift ticket. This place is amazing for the price. $20 and you can ski/snowboard all day. Ski and snowboard rentals are also only $20 and they have free parking. This place is only an hour from bend, OR. I think this place is a gem. There's one lift up to the peak which isn't crazy high. And then you can ski the front side or the back side of the mountain. From the peak, you have beautiful lake views. There's plenty of green blue and black runs to choose from. If you're a beginner, this place is a great place to learn. If you're an expert, you can enjoy this place in one day. I would love to come back here, this place has everything you need and you're not being price gouged like every other ski resort in America. read more

Not very kid friendly at all. Food is super expensive. I prefer Ashland over this place any day.

Had an issue in the upstairs bar area where the bar manager with black hair told my girlfriend she had a "questionable ID" and then proceeded to attempt to rip off her change of address sticker on her ID. My girlfriend snatched back her ID (because the lady was breaking it) and the manager proceeded to kick her out of the bar and condescendingly laugh at her. I came into the situation after trying to deescalate the conflict saying "I'm sorry there was a problem we don't want to cause any trouble I just want to have a nice meal on my birthday with my girlfriend." To which she replied she didn't care and laughed and then kicked me out too for attempting to "debate" with her. Although that experience was terrible, the staff downstairs were extremely supportive and kind. They helped us lodge a complaint to staff and even went as far as to refund our tickets. They mediated a bad situation and told us that the upstairs manager did not represent Willamette pass as a whole. I am giving a good review because of the kindness of the staff downstairs. read more

Mellow resort in Oregon, open as weather permits. Recently went cashless, so bring your credit/debit card. Nice bar area with great service. It's cold by the big windows, but the view of the main run is exquisite. Veggie burgers available! $200 for a 5day pass. Rentals available at reasonable prices. Check out the weather before you commit, and be careful driving here. The roads get super slick with black ice! read more

Willamette Pass Resort Ski Area - Ready for a day on the slopes - Ski Resorts Near Me - Crescent, Oregon

It is unfortunate that I had to write a poor review but I think Yelp clients should be aware. The owner/management of the Willamette Ski Resort is incredibly rude and their guest customer service is unsatisfactory, to say the least. Several people were in line in front of me. Those who had any "problem" were forced to wait until the entire line diminished before they could receive an audience with the grandmaster (owner - Tim). We were one of those affected. The owner refused to look up my online order. He forced me to go find internet service (which there was none available at the ski resort at the time) to get my online order number. When I returned, he continued to be rude to me telling me he could not honor the terms of our passes without paperwork. They would not tell me where in the mountains I could go to where there was a printer available. They would not print the papers for me. I found internet again and tried to download the "paperwork" to fill out - so I could drive to a place with a printer to print it out. The download had expired. I went to guest services again. There was a woman named Rachel there. I waited until NOONE was in the room to ask questions. She was irritable and easily agitated when I asked for her help. She started raising her voice at me simply because I wanted to know WHEN she could email me the forms. I had already explained to her that I was going to drive to find a printer somewhere so I could fill out the "paperwork" and return today before they closed. This way, we didn't have to wait in line again tomorrow. Tim (later identified as the owner) came in and said that there was no way they would be able to make me happy or satisfy me. I tried rationally to explain that all I wanted was to have someone email me the forms I needed to download and print out. Again- there were no other customers in guest services. He told me I needed to leave. Out of fear that he would make my entire family leave, I walked out. But I felt very angry that neither one of them would tell me when they would have time to email me the documents that they wanted me to fill out for our season passes. I still don't understand why he couldn't print them for me and hand them to me when there was nothing else going on later in the day. The restaurant and lounge were very nice. Food was not bad. Erin and Greg at the lounge gave excellent service. Sarah (ski instructor) did a terrific job with my girls who took a day lesson. And Gene and the other in the ski rental area were nice as well. So- bottom line- if I could possibly avoid the absolutely miserable experience when first walking in the door to get our tickets- I would have given the place 5 stars. I can only imagine how nice of a reputation Willamette Pass would have if they had a better owner/management hierarchy. Honestly, if we hadn't traveled 15 hours from the south to come here to meet 16 other family and friends (for a vacation I set up), I would have taken our family elsewhere to a ski resort that cares about their clients. I updated my review to include and extra star for customer service because of the excellent service we received in rentals from Will and Roger. Will was fantastic and really seemed to care about the clientele. He went over and above to make sure our experience was pleasant and the kids were attended to quickly and proficiently. read more
