Historic Warming Hut at Skibowl

Been coming here since 1989 when I first learned to ski. It never gets old, gets crowded, but don’t be afraid to share tables with other like-​minded folks.
Spaten Optimator is the best deal on the mountain.
Only downfall is that you can’t hang outside on the sunny days. An outdoor beer garden would make this a great bluebird day spot.

This is my second year skiing, period, and this was my first day out this year. I was a bit rusty. I ate it. Hard. several times. Snow right up the jacket, down the pants ate it.
Stopped mid run, clambered awkwardly into this place: shakes fists at front steps and my ski boots: and got to sit. and dry off my stuff by the fire for a spell. and have a nice, hot Gluhwein. ahh.
And right back onto the slopes! Huzzah for the hut!

Not too shabby for a shack on top of the mountain. Great fireplace, small as far as seating the turnover rate in their is pretty high so you shouldnt have to wait too long for a seat. It would be nice if there was a little more variety for snacks or food but its understandable considering the location.

The Historic Warming Hut Built in 1935 is a unique winter stop for Skiers and Boarders @ Ski Bowl. In my opinion, It is by far the best place to have a beer on Mt Hood (within a building, that is) The only way to access it is by Riding a lift in the winter (or snowmobile?)
Pilsner Urquell on tap, with some Hungarian goulash and Otto’s sausages (Pork only) is the way to go.
There are several Other bottled beer selections. Spaten Lager, Spaten Octoberfest, Spaten Optimator, Franziskaner Hefe-​Weisse Hells, Franziskaner Hefe-​Weisse Dunkel, Paulaner Salvator DoppleBock, Deschutes Mirror Pond, Deschutes Black Butte Porter and a few other PNW Brews.
Along with beer there are several Warm Drinks Served such as Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate and Also a Chocolate wine thats quite good mixed with the hot chocolate.
They offer deli sandwiches as well.
They rotate their soups, Vege beef, Brocolii cheese are a few. The Hungarian goulash is my favorite.
Sevice is always friendly. Always a nice warm fire. I heard that its owned by the Forest Service which means its owned by you. You should come check It out.
