Aubrey Lodge sits in the shadow of Mount Hood, a few miles East of Government Camp, Oregon.

The lodge features a large main hall with fireplace.

Four kitchens provide shared cooking areas for visiting units

Bring simple, easy-to-prepare meals such as hot dogs, cocoa, etc; everyone loves a warm treat when they come in from the slopes

Boys LOVE downhill tubing!

A tubing hill is just outside the lodge. Tubes are provided at the lodge.

Adults are asked to volunteer as a Hill Safety Officer for an hour or so during their stay - to help keep everyone safe

The hike in is about 1/4 mile on mostly flat terrain. Wear boots, as the snow can be deep at times.

The parking lot is an Oregon Sno Park, and it is rather small, so be sure to carpool.

Remember your SNO-PARK permit! Officers do patrol the lot, and do issue tickets to vehicles without a permit.

Tip - bring a sled to drag in gear and food. It cannot be used on the hill (innertubes only), but will help a great deal for hiking in and out.

Here is a shot of the sign at the Sno-Park, just before the White River bridge.
