To ensure guests have the best product prices that meet their needs and to manage crowds at Mt. Hood Meadows, we use a system called dynamic pricing! Similar to other hospitality industries such as booking airline seats, hotel reservations, and sporting events, great deals and experiences are offered simply by purchasing early and finding the best time frames.

In our industry, dynamic pricing is dependent on customer demand, weather conditions, and time. For example, prices will increase with higher customer demand such as during weekend days and holidays, ideal weather conditions such as fresh powder snow, and purchases made closer to product date times. Prices will decrease with lower demand during mid-week days, less ideal weather conditions such as rain, and purchases made further in advance.

On our website, there is a calendar listing the various prices and times for all products. The price differences and corresponding times help us manage crowds by promoting guest visitation throughout the day rather than all at once. For example, a guest goes to our website to purchase a lift ticket, they will see for Saturday, December 25^th, the 2pm lift ticket is $50 cheaper than the 9am lift ticket. The price difference would entice this guest to purchase the 2pm lift ticket.

Mt. Hood Meadows has been using dynamic pricing for lift tickets since the 2018/19 season. During the 2020/21 season, Mt. Hood Meadows expanded dynamic pricing towards rentals, demos and programs as well.
