Experience One of the Seven Wonders of Oregon on Skis or Snowshoes, and Without Crowds!
Signup by February 15
The Crater Lake rim, at 7,000 feet, averages 44 feet of snow a year. Join the ONC for the big trip at Crater Lake. We’ll board the deluxe coach at noon (this is a new departure time) in Portland on Friday and proceed down I-5 while sharing in the world famous “Rolling Pot-Luck.” We will arrive in Prospect at around 6 pm, giving you time to enjoy your room in the historic Prospect Hotel. The next morning, after a hearty gourmet breakfast at the hotel, we will take a quick ride to the rim where we’ll spend the day enjoying the spectacular snow formations and views of the lake and surrounding mountains while skiing as far as our legs can carry us. Sunday will be another day of different trails, different tours, and more exploring. We can even take a ranger led interpretive snowshoe tour. Later in the afternoon, we will board our coach and head toward home, stopping for a special dinner on the way, arriving back in Portland about 10 p.m.
A bonus of this trip is: a professional ski coach from Wy’East Nordic will be on hand to give skiing tips to those who want them — at no extra cost.
There are two types of accommodations: The Historic Prospect Inn which has one double/queen bed in each room for two people (ideal for couples) and the adjacent motel-like rooms, where participants will likely share large rooms with two or three beds per room and, in some cases, kitchenettes.
Trip limit: 40 participants, including the leader
Cost: $310 (motel) or $330 (inn). Includes transportation, lodging, two dinners and two breakfasts. Optional lunches can be ordered for Saturday or Sunday for $13 per day. You must be a current ONC club member before signing up for this trip.
