While camping has always been an option for our employees, a lack of responsible stewardship on behalf of employee campers in recent years has driven the Forest Service to request that employees of the ski areas on Mt. Hood no longer camp as a housing option. While, technically, it is still legal to camp long-term, you MUST keep your camp site clean and obey ALL regulations regarding use of our National Forest Lands. Employees who do not respect these regulations will be held fully accountable and financially responsible for any damages to the camp site area. For more information about camping in our local Forests, click HERE.
There are actually numerous ‘villages’ which make up the HOODLAND corridor along highway 26 from Sandy to Government Camp. These villages include; Cherryville, Alder Creek, Brightwood, Wildwood, Wemme, Welches, Zig Zag, and Rhododendron. In each of these villages you can find seasonal or year-round rentals. Two good places to find local rentals are through our local newspaper The Mountain Times or by searching the web through sites like Trulia or Rent.com.
The HR department at Skibowl (located on the third floor of the Ratskeller restaurant) has a rideshare program where employees can offer-up rides for a small daily donation for gas. This helps to minimize the number of vehicles on the road and helps our staff get to and from work economically. For more information on ride sharing, contact the HR office at 503-272-3206 ext. 1106 or by emailing at julie.lee@skibowl.com.
The Mt. Hood Express provides daily bus services between Gresham and Government Camp. Many employees use the Express as their regular commute to work. The bus has many stops in Government Camp, including Skibowl West, downtown and the Summit Apartments. Schedules vary by the season. The Express also links to Portland’s transportation network.Â

Payroll and banking
Skibowl pays on a bi-weekly (every two week) basis. Our payroll provider is Paycom. Employees can pick-up their paychecks from their supervisors in their departments any time after 2pm on payday. Checks which are not picked-up will be mailed to the address on file by the following Monday. If returned, they are placed in the employee’s personnel file and a notice is sent to the employee. Skibowl adheres to all BOLI regulations regarding final and last pay. We offer free direct deposit of your pay or access to a direct-deposit (pay) credit card through Sole Paycard. Paychecks are not cashed by Skibowl under any circumstances.
Employees are expected to both clock-in at the time clock and sign-in on a sign-in sheet. This is to protect YOU. If you forget to clock-in, we can still locate and post your work shift from the sign-in sheet, and visa-versa.
The closest bank is located in Welches (Clackamas County Bank). There is a Wells Fargo and a US Bank in Sandy.
What to bring
The weather and temperatures on Mt. Hood range dramatically from season to season. If you will be coming to Oregon in the summer, plan on warm temperatures (60-high-90s) and in the winter, prepare for the cold (zero – 50) Fahrenheit.
Your best friends in the winter months will be a good, sturdy, water-proof pair of boots, warm socks, a warm, tight-weave hat, dry gloves and a heavily insulated jacket. Uniform shirts, jackets, vests and jackets will be issued to you upon attending orientation, but we ask that you not wear these items when you are not on duty. In addition, these items will need to be returned at the end of the work season.
