4. Snow-Sport Special | 7:30 a.m.

Jump in the car for the opening act of our hat-trick workout — first tracks on Mount Hood. Lifts operate year-round an hour south at Timberline Lodge ($62 to $68 lift ticket), where you might share the Palmer Snowfield at 8,540 feet with ski racers in training during the warmer months, perhaps even the Olympic gold medalists Mikaela Shiffrin and Ted Ligety. From November to May, head to Mount Hood Meadows Ski Resort (just 35 miles from town) for bigger terrain, but take the S.U.V. or bring chains because it’s not uncommon to leave flowers in Hood River at 160 feet above sea level and find yourself at 5,366 feet in a whiteout blizzard, a.k.a. “powder day.” Thanks to this season’s 100-plus-inch snow pack, the Rest of Season Pass ($139; $99 age 7 to 22) is good until lifts close in May.

5. Wind and Water | Noon

Eat lunch on the drive back down and head to Big Winds on Front Street, or the Big Winds Event Site Beach Center on the Columbia River, open mid-May to late September. Stand-up paddleboard rentals ($35 for two hours) and lessons with gear included ($49) are available daily, so hop on and paddle along the waterfront, or across the river on low-wind days. Up the ante with windsurf rentals ($25 for two hours for beginners; $55 for advanced) and lessons ($79) and head to the 20-plus launch locations up and down the river, including the famed Hatchery, where the pros catch big air. Afterward, stop in at Solstice Wood Fire Cafe & Bar to replenish with a Country Girl Cherry Pizza with chorizo and goat cheese ($13) and local wine.

6. Single-Track Sensation | 3 p.m.

For the third and final hat-trick segment, head to Mountain View Cycles if you need a mountain bike rental ($40 to $60 a day), and pedal the four miles to Post Canyon, the town’s backyard fat-tire playground, where you’ll follow a maze of red-earth single-track through mossy forest and across log bridges over rushing pewter brooks. Hard-core types can seek out extensive stunt parks with log jumps and ramps, while the easygoing might stick to a dirt road winding past vineyards, cherry orchards and valley views. Stop at Dirty Fingers Bicycle Repair on the way back and tell your war stories to the bike techs over an IPA on tap ($4 for a pint), or next door at 10 Speed Coffee Roastery with a pick-me-up double shot of espresso ($2.25).

7. Refuel and Imbibe | 6 p.m.

You have every right to be famished, and Hood River is prepared. Start with taps and apps at the locals’ hangout, Sixth Street Bistro, for Thai chicken or red curry beef satay ($11) and a selection of Gorge microbrews. From there, it’s a good idea to have a dinner reservation at Celilo Restaurant and Bar, a favorite place to wine and dine, where the vibe is upscale-healthy hip and the menu includes local produce, steak, pork and a delicious pan-seared duck leg and thigh confit with kale and tart cherries over brussels sprouts and wild rice ($25). Also on the menu: clever cocktails and local wines. Top it off at Brian’s Pourhouse for a chocolate espresso torte ($6) or Pourhouse martini ($8) at the bar.
