Established in 1983, the MHSEF was created by local supporters of competitive skiing with one simple goal: to provide excellence in ski training and education for amateur skiers on Mount Hood.
MHSEF believes in the positive outcomes instilled by athletic endeavors; our objective is to promote activities that develop these unique values and qualities in young people through healthy competition.
For over 25 years, Mt. Hood Ski Education Foundation has been providing rewarding experiences in winter sports and recreation for youth and families.
A year-around program, MHSEF supports participants with fitness education, winter training, racing, school support, summer camps and community outreach.
