Powder Hounds Ski & Snowboard School

For over three decades, Powder Hounds has been the premier ski school on Mt. Hood at the Timberline Ski Area, providing both skiing and snowboarding instruction.  Powder Hounds' specialized approach to teaching, especially to children, has helped generations of Northwest skiers learn and continue to enjoy winter sports.

Our small classes, adult-chaperoned bus rides, friendly instructors, easy-to-use rental equipment, and plenty of games and challenges throughout the day give every student a sense of fun and accomplishment.

Powder Hounds has a long-standing tradition of excellence, and we've earned our reputation by providing superior instruction in a way that is exciting and enjoyable to each student.  We take pride in being "the best school on the mountain" and we will always maintain the balance of tradition and innovation that makes Powder Hounds unique.
