Stoke the Season: Hillcrest Ski & Sports at Snowvana Portland 2025

The nights are getting longer, the mountains are calling, and the stoke for winter is in the air. Snowvana Portland — the Pacific Northwest’s biggest snow sports festival — returns October 24–26, 2025 at the Portland Expo Center, and this year Hillcrest Ski & Sports is front and center as a featured partner.

If you’re a skier, rider, or snow-lover of any kind, this is the can’t-miss event that kicks off the season in true PNW style.

What Is Snowvana?

Snowvana is more than a gear sale — it’s a full-on snow celebration. Over the course of three days, the Expo Center transforms into a winter wonderland packed with:

  • Gear Village & Ski Swap: More than 25,000 sq. ft. of skis, snowboards, boots, and outerwear — new, lightly used, and demo models at deep discounts.

  • Resort Pavilion: Meet reps from PNW, Western, and Canadian resorts, score exclusive lift ticket and lodging deals, and start planning your season.

  • iF3 Film Festival: Catch the year’s most inspiring ski and snowboard films from the International Freesports Film Festival.

  • Live Entertainment & Après Vibes: From music and contests to hangouts with fellow snow fans, Snowvana delivers the community energy that online shopping just can’t match.

  • Interactive Fun: Family activities, kids’ zones, learn-to-ski setups, and hands-on brand demos bring the stoke to all ages.

It’s the largest pre-season gathering of the snow sports world in the Pacific Northwest — and the perfect way to get winter rolling.
