GROUP DISCOUNTED RATES
Group rates are available for anyone if you plan right. We sell Anycards to reduce your prices by up to 20% and more. These cards may be used for 5 lift tickets for one to 5 people. They are totally transferable. The cards are available at Berg's in Eugene, Peaks in Corvallis, Umbrella Properties in Coburg or by calling Hoodoo at 541-822-3799. Increased discounts are available to groups of 20 or more who make special arrangements at least 7 days in advance. These rates are available for your club, church, organization or family reunion. Groups that check with us at least two weeks in advance can speed up their check in time by completing necessary forms prior to the ski day. This means more time on the slopes!
For schools we also offer Field Trip rates for your mid-week, non-holiday visit. We'd love to assist you in designing your class outing.
For groups from 20 to 500 or more we have the ability to fit you with a banquet room or area to fit your needs. Advance reservations must be made.
For group or field trip rates contact us at (541) 822-3799 and we'll be happy to help you! You can also email your questions to our Group Manager, Doug Ritchie.
What you should wear on your ski trip day
Clothing appropriate for the mountains will help insure that you will enjoy your skiing experience. Keep your body warm by dressing in layers that will allow you to customize according to the weather and temperature.
Undergarments - Polypropylene is most effective for maintaining body heat and drawing moisture away from the body. Conventional long underwear also works, but avoid cotton. When it gets wet, it stays wet.
Socks - One pair of thin wool or polypropylene socks is all you need. More doesn’t add warmth but does increase wrinkles, and that can mean blisters. You may want to bring a spare pair for when you are done skiing.
Turtleneck - A turtleneck is the most practical ski shirt because it is snug at the neck and wrists, keeping in valuable body heat.
Sweaters - The tighter the weave of the sweater, the less heat loss. Sweatshirts are a popular substitute, but remember cotton draws body heat away from your body when it gets wet.
Jackets – A warm and comfortable jacket is a must, water proofing is a plus.
Pants – Water proof overpants are best, jeans are about the worst. If you wear cotton, wear a heavy pair of sweatpants (over). Whatever you wear should fit the lower leg and ankle loosely so pants can be pulled out of ski boots. This area of boot closure should be smooth without bulk and folds.
Hats - A hat is a necessity for warmth when it’s windy or snowing, headbands are popular on those sunny but still cold days. Remember that most body heat is lost through the head.
Face - Your cheeks, nose, and mouth can be protected with a neck gaiter, scarf, or face mask.
Gloves - Hands are usually the first part of the body to get cold. Waterproof gloves or mittens are key to staying warm and dry. Mittens are warmer, and gloves are more versatile. A loose fit allows for good circulation.
Eyewear - Eye protection is crucial to good visibility, which is critical when skiing. Goggles are best because they protect the eyes from the elements of winter - sun, wind, and blowing snow. Sunglasses are better suited for milder weather and sunny days.
Sunscreen – Always wear sunscreen and lip protection of SPF 15 or more when skiing, even if it’s cloudy.
