Nov 25-29, 2015, Wed–Sun
All Abilities Ski & Hike & Eat
Join the Oregon Nordic Club for our traditional trip to launch the ski season and, in honor of global warming, perhaps the winter hiking season, depending upon the weather. We’ll expect that the Nordic Center will be open for most trails. We’ll hope that backcountry trails are skiable. We’ll be prepared for a multisport trip, to include day hikes. People who bring bikes can cruise the paved trails at Sunriver or ride the rural roads around it. We’ll continue with the traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.
We’ll arrive Wednesday evening for a 4-night stay, and decide each evening what people are interested in doing. We’ll organize ourselves according to interests, carpool to the mountain or trailheads, and share potluck dinners. Non-skiing options are cycling, walking the bike paths in Sunriver, visiting the High Desert Museum, the bookstore, crafts fair or the observatory, if it’s open. Skiers and hikers should bring maps and ideas. This trip has historically been relaxed, with some folks desiring to stroll, read, hang out, or catch up with each other, as well as to ski. Others are ready for whichever sports present themselves. Join us. Maps of Swampy Lakes, Dutchman Flat Area, Edison Butte and the Newberry Crater Areas are available here
