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,
Eurosports in Sisters, 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,

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 doesnt 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 its 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.
