This Mt. Hood adventure park comes alive every summer
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
When the snow melts and the alpine flowers begin to bloom, it’s time for the folks at Mt. Hood Skibowl to start taking out all their toys. With racecars, ziplines and the beloved alpine slide, there’s a lot that goes into transforming the snowy ski area into a summer adventure park. That’s not to mention the hiking trails that emerge from the snowmelt and the skilift that gets rebranded to the “sky chair” for the season. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Mike Quinn, vice president and general manager of Mt. Hood Skibowl, talks all about what goes into the transformation, and how people can best enjoy the summer slopes. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What goes into transforming Skibowl into the summer adventure park? Activities are offered a la carte, allowing people to design their own days. Does climate change affect when and how the summer season is offered? How to make the most of a summer day on the mountain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
