Trip Rating: All Ability, Classic, Skate and Touring options
Base Camp: Sunriver, OR
Come to Sunriver to enjoy a loo-ng weekend in the sunny and snowy Central Cascades in mid-February! This is perhaps the prime ski time to hit the multiple ski trails in and around Mt. Bachelor, all in a half day’s drive from Portland. With sno-parks galore, plus the Bachelor Nordic Center, it gives us a lot to choose from including groomed trails, skating, and backcountry terrain to test your ability. Perfect for everyone from an easy ski to intermediate and advanced. Keep the options open too because the area has great hiking, biking, and other sites nearby.
Our spacious accommodations (5BR/4BA) features a hot tub, fireplace, BBQ, pool passes, and more. The resort itself offers restaurants, art and gift shops, ski and bike rentals, and local supermarkets. Explore the area with a walk or bike ride on the paved paths to the village center, watch the wildlife around the Deschutes River, catch a night light show at the Oregon Observatory, or just relax after a satisfying day on the trails. Our rental gives us a bonus night to extend our stay on into Tuesday for added skiing fun.
We will carpool from Portland and to the ski areas each day, about 20 miles from our house. Dinners are infamous ONC potluck style. Everyone does their own breakfast and lunch. Other than sno-park permits for drivers, we can ski for free on most of the trails, pay for the groomed trails at the Nordic Center, or by donation at Virginia Meissner.
Trip limit: 10 participants (includes trip leader).
Cost: $190/person. Includes four nights lodging.
