Don’t think there is going to be much of an issue with snow this year at Hoodoo. Hope you have a great trip. Please leave some additional comments here after your trip. Thanks! Vince

Love it! Family time is hard to come by for us these days. We are already planning our first ski trip of the season. Some friends recently gave us a can of Batter Blaster organic pancake mix, after taking some on a camping trip. Seems like it would also be prefect to pack on the ski trip! Nice way to start the day, hot breakfast with all the family together! 
Now let’s all pray for SNOW!!

Hi Deb,

Thanks for the comment. Yes…the only thing that would have made this trip together is being with grandma and grandpa.

As Rhys says Suttle Lake looks like an "awesome" place for both families and adults to enjoy. The cabins on the lake were lovely as was the lodge. Staff on your tour was friendly and the food looked. Delicious. A place to think about staying on our next trip to the Northwest.

Hoodoo has been a family favorite for years (we have a ten and three year old). The staff is very friendly and always willing to help your little skier. The family vibe extends to the trails as well as the ski/snowboard culture seems to be a little less rowdy. Also, if you are staying for the weekend, Hoodoo allows you to take your rental with you that evening so you don't have to re-rent the next day!

Thanks for reviewing Hoodoo…as alwyas, Portland Family Adventures has the inside scoop!
