Parking at mt. hood meadows
All employees are expected to demonstrate safety, respect and helpfulness as they enter MHM parking lots. Everyone is expected to follow the flow of traffic and obey instruction from the Traffic Controller. When a roadblock is in place, access to main lot will be allowed only to authorized personnel. Speak with your manager if you have job specific needs. Pick Up/Drop Off at main lodge will only be allowed when the parking lots have reopened. Signage and safety cones are to be respected and untampered. Vehicles that are found to disobey these features will be immobilized and charged a fee before being released.
