A winter storm has many upsides: snow days, skiing, and the chance to follow deer back to the tree where they roost. Experience some winter magic with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $34.50 for an all-day lift ticket on Saturday, March 23, or Sunday, March 24 (a $69 value)
  • $43.50 for an all-day lift ticket on Saturday, March 23, and access to a barbecue buffet (an $87 value)

On Saturday, March 23, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the slopes at Mt. Hood Skibowl will shed their preoccupation with winter and transform into a snow-covered spring-break beach for the 12th Annual Snow Beach Festival. Amid flamingos, tikis, ice sculptures, and live music, partiers can taste microbrews and spirits, ski, and check out a hot-dog-eating contest. The centerpiece of the festivities is the pond-skimming contest, where skiers and snowboarders attempt to skim across a freezing-cold pond for a chance to win prizes.

Mt. Hood Skibowl

With more than 960 skiable acres on the face of Mount Hood, many visitors to Mt. Hood Skibowl rarely glide past the same tree twice. Named for the bowl-like shape of the mountain's upper portion, the resort uses the natural landscape to its advantage on two terrain parks and 65 trails that descend the mountain's 1,500-foot vertical drop—34 of which are fully lit, and no more than 10 of which attract slaloming polar bears at any one time. Professional skier and mountain biker Petr Kakes and his team of instructors hold beginner and advanced ski and snowboard lessons to prep students for these slopes.

Though there's much to explore on the trails—the longest of which runs 3 miles—visitors can also cavort outdoors in the Snow Tube and Adventure Park. Here, the staff maintains carved, winding snow-tube paths in two tubing parks served by a conveyor lift. An indoor playground filled with climbing structures and slides entertains children as young as 3. Seven on-mountain lodges and restaurants provide places for visitors to refuel or change into ghost-prospector costumes to scare off meddling kids. During warmer months, the slopes transform into the Mt. Hood Adventure Park at Skibowl, which boasts more than 20 outdoor attractions such as ziplines, a bungee-jumping tower, a concrete luge track, and a mountain-biking park.

The Groupon Guide to: Short-Story Topics

The hardest part of writing a short story is what to do with all the millions of dollars it will earn you, but the second hardest part is coming up with an idea for one. Here is a free list of ideas for short stories that we would be thrilled if anyone used:

  • While her husband is at work, a sad woman looks at a photograph of her sister on the beach.
  • Men come to blows over whose father was more distant.
  • It’s like a sheep or a mouse or something but it talks like a human would and has an iPhone. You don’t have to try very hard on this one.
  • A lady and a man are on a plane on their way to go hunting in Africa. They are married but they do NOT like each other.
  • A thinly veiled story from your life that follows no plot structure because that’s probably what you’re gonna write anyway.
  • What if horses rode humans around for work and sport? What then, huh?

What are some good ideas for short stories? Find out in today’s Groupon Guide.
