What does it mean to be 'King Winter'?
Passion
King Winter is someone (any gender) who is passionate about winter, snow sports, and Mt Hood. They are the embodiment of passion for the pow.
Service
King Winter is not only passionate about winter and snow sports, but also someone who gives back to the community through volunteering or support for our mountain community.
Community
King Winter is someone who encourages growth of the mountain community. This person encourages others to get involved and inspires others to develop their own passion for the pow.
How is King Winter selected?
Once the nominees have been confirmed as fitting the criteria* by the King Winter Nomination Committee, The Skiyente general membership votes on this year's King Winter at their February meeting. King Winter will be announced to the public on this year's Kings' Dinner and King Winter Coronation date, where we invite past kings and all community members to party with us and celebrate our new king!

All kings' photos are displayed on the wall at Charlie's - be sure to check them out next time you're in there for some apres ski.
​
* While we prefer King Winter to be someone who is not paid for their contributions to the Mt Hood community, we understand that many of our nominees have held or currently hold a paid position for sharing their passion. In this case, the nominating committee will determine whether the nominee has gone above and beyond their paid role to fulfill the requirements to be deemed King Winter.
