Trip Rating: All Abilities Ski or Snowshoe
Basecamp: Glacier National Park, MT
We will take Amtrak overnight to Izaak Walton Inn, Essex, Montana, adjacent to Glacier National Park for a wonderful ski vacation! We will leave Portland on Monday afternoon, January 10 and arrive Tuesday morning, to sparkling snow and the cozy Izaak Walton Inn.
On Tuesday through Thursday, we will ski or snowshoe on the 30 km of groomed trails, the Magnificent Dickey Bowl, and other trails, or relax in the Finnish sauna or Olympic size hot tub. Each night, we can enjoy a gourmet meal in the restaurant, read a good book by the fire, participate in exciting ONC board games, have a drink in the bar, or relax. We have reserved a large cabin for socialization. On Thursday night, January 13, we will board the westbound overnight train back to Portland. As we pull back into the train station in Portland on Friday morning, you will wonder why you waited so long to take this trip.
If online sign up (in October 2021) shows the trip as full, please join the waitlist. There are almost always cancellations so chances are very good you will be able to get on the trip.
