All Ability Ski
It’s time to ski, eat turkey, and repeat. 8 of us will spend 4 nights in Sunriver Resort, arriving at our house Wednesday evening and carpooling to the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and environs to kick off the ski season on groomed and backcountry trails. Last year we—unusually–had snow in Sunriver, so skied out our door and around the resort as well as at the mountain. Other years we’ve headed into the backcountry. The Nordic Center, with its miles of groomed trails, is always open early in the season and offers a range of trails for beginning to experienced XC skiers and skaters. We will also be prepared for hiking, and the resort has miles of paved walking and biking trails as well as a recreation center to which we will have passes. Folks can bring bikes, if so inclined. We ONC skiers have learned to be flexible early in the year.
Sunriver Resort is 20 miles south of Bend, burdened by sunshine and dry snow. Our house is equipped with a hot tub, well-stocked kitchen and a fireplace. The area is also near the High Desert Museum, and some folks take time to wander through Sun River Village or go to the holiday crafts fair. We will carpool there and organize potluck dinners. This is where ski season begins!
