Winter Adventures in Mt. Hood

Things to do in Oregon in January with kids! January in Oregon is actually a great month for cozy, adventurous, family fun. Here are my favorite winter family-friendly adventures that work well in winter, for different ages and energy levels.

Snow Play (No Skiing Required)

• Snow parks (sledding, snowmen, snowshoeing)

• Mt. Hood area for tubing hills and beginner snow play

• Snowshoeing on flat, family-friendly trails

Many snow-parks require a day pass; keep it simple with sledding and hot cocoa.

Beginner-Friendly Ski & Tubing Areas

• Snow tubing parks (great for younger kids)

• Ski lessons for kids & teens

• Cozy lodge breaks make this manageable even in cold weather
