Hoodoo is a central Oregon ski area on Santiam Pass in the Cascades, covering 806 acres (326 hectares) with 36 runs. The summit is 5,700 feet (1,738 m) and the vertical 1,030 feet (315 m), from a base at 4,670 feet. Terrain is 42% intermediate, 31% advanced, 19% beginner and 8% expert. Quad and triple chairs plus a set of surface lifts serve the hill, and snowfall averages roughly 323 inches a year. The area is also known for night skiing and a large tubing park, which makes it as much a family day out as a place to chase vertical.

The Green lift, a fixed-grip quad, serves the whole hill and reaches all 806 acres. A separate beginner area is served by Easy Rider and is isolated from the rest of the terrain, the Hodag lift opens the backside, and the Manzanita triple serves the bowl, the terrain park and night skiing. About 23 runs are lit for night skiing, and the Autobahn Tubing Park has 800-foot lanes. Hoodoo suits skiers from the Willamette Valley and Bend wanting a day or evening on snow, and its mid-range terrain suits families and intermediates best.

The 2025-26 season at Hoodoo ran from 6 December 2025 to 29 March 2026, a roughly sixteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 323 inches, among the higher totals in the Oregon Cascades. This substantial snowfall supports reliable conditions throughout the season without heavy reliance on snowmaking. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season storm activity.

Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Hoodoo's varied terrain. The resort's value-oriented pricing and central Oregon location draw a strong local following from Bend, Sisters and the surrounding communities, with weekday visits in particular remaining notably quiet compared with the region's larger resorts.

As an Indy Pass resort, Hoodoo draws some visiting skiers holding that multi-resort pass in addition to its core central Oregon base. The Autobahn Tubing Park provides a non-ski option for family visitors throughout the season. Weekly Thursday Special ticket pricing reflects the resort's ongoing effort to draw midweek visitation. School holiday periods bring increased family visitation given the resort's approachable terrain mix.

Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Chuck Shepard's 1999 purchase, continued investment in lifts and facilities has supported the resort's identity as a modernised yet still affordable central Oregon option. Hoodoo's substantial snowfall total and volcanic cinder cone setting on Hoodoo Butte remain distinguishing features through the season.
