Season Passes / Weekend Program -- READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY!!
There are a few considerations on pricing and it will vary, depending on whether a student is new to the sport and if they need rentals or lift tickets. Read through to the very end on how to access the Mt. Hood Meadows Website and how to use our Club GO Code.
1) Transportation Fee - Everyone is required to pay the club transportation fee this year unless you sign up for lessons. $100 (CLICK HERE to purchase through FGHS Webstore or pay through Final Forms). $50 off the club fee for each 4 week lesson session you sign up for.
2) Consecutive Weekend Program - If you need or would like lessons or rentals then I would recommend purchasing both 4 Week packages with the 4 Week package back to back (Jan. / Feb. ) This would allow you to participate at a discounted rate for 8 consecutive Saturdays. We have 10 trips planned and you can either purchase the season pass with the lesson and rentals or just purchase 2 day passes. You need to purchase BOTH of the weekend Programs NOW to ensure for your spot. Lesson pricing increases as time goes on, so I recommend getting everything as soon as it becomes available on the website. I coordinate with Mt. Hood Meadows on these and we have a Club GO Code(Special Code) to use during checkout that I will send to you as soon as we have all your paperwork in order so you can purchase the tickets. (Pricing is fixed. NOTE: Your tickets are only valid for Saturdays only.)
Costs:
Option 1) For those who are beginners and do not have their own equipment - best deal $1314
INCLUDES:
8 weeks of lift ticket for Saturdays that we go up
8 weeks of lessons (progressive lessons )
8 weeks of rentals
select last option on January GO page and last option on February GO page and add the lift ticket and rentals. $657 x 2 or $1314 total.
lesson, rental, and lift covered if there are any cancellations for make ups on the 9th or 10th week.
Option 2) For those with Season Passes or have their own equipment - For skiers/boarders who know how to ski and have their own equipment, the season pass is best price for your money if you get it earlier enough in the season. For anyone wanting to improve their skills lessons are recommended or move up to more difficult terrain at least 4 weeks of lessons is required. If you want to Ski/Board with friends and family, in addition to the Saturdays we have planned, you will need an All Access Season Pass. Currently (Nov. 5) pricing is $759 for all mountain, all days, all season. CLICK HERE (* Pricing is dynamic and rises every week.)
See Ms. Wanner for which program you should join if you have a season pass and/or your own equipment
STOP - If you are a new to the ski and snowboard club or a brand new Skier/Boarder (switching equipment) you are required to purchase one 4 Lesson package and it is recommended you purchase TWO 4 Lesson packages (January and February) whether you buy a Season Pass or choose a Consecutive Weekend Program. Your friends are not certified Ski/Board Instructors and this is to ensure for your own safety! Building solid fundamentals will ensure you remain in control and injury free for the whole season. Details for pricing for the beginner program are below, please scroll down.
IN addition: If you are wanting to ski more difficult terrain, you must take the advanced lessons through the high school program. These are catered to FGHS students who want to advance their skills and this is to ensure your safety and to build on your current skills. This is not the same lesson program as the beginner lessons and is meant for those who want to learn how to better navigate mogels, steep terrain, and do tricks.
Let's break it down....
Beginner? Sign up throught family id and then for Lessons and Equipment plus the season pass through Meadows (cost to be determined) you can go to Mt. Hood Meadows website and see the options and pricing. Remember to pay the club fee to the main office bookeeper and be sure to fill out all the forms.
Not a Beginner? We recommend getting the season pass and sign up for advanced lessons if you want to improve your skills or do more difficult terrain to keep up with your friends, pay the bookeeper the club fee (waived for lesson sign ups), sign up in final forms and fill out the forms and you are set!

Ski and Snowboard Gear
Students must own/rent ALL their own gear.
If you choose to participate in the Meadows Weekly program you can add Rentals as well when you purchase the program. NOTE: Rentals will be checked out to you for the 10 Saturdays and you will be taking the gear home each week on the bus.
Mt. Hood Meadows rental gear is available through the High School programs GO page - see GO page instructions and they fix issues right away if you have any problems while on the mountain. If you are new to the sport, don't over spend. ADVICE... Rent this year and get to know what you like - you can also trade up for demos. Comfortable well fitted boots are critical for long days on the slopes.
Helmets are REQUIRED to participate. If you forget it, you must RENT IT!
