The Annual John Craig Nordic Ski Tour will be held on March 23, 2019 on the McKenzie Pass Highway in Sisters Oregon. People from all over the state participate in this fun, non-competitive event. The tour is an out and back on a gentle forest road through the beautiful Deschutes National Forest. In good weather an average skier can reach Dee Wright Observatory in about three hours and Windy Point in two, and the return trip takes about half the amount of time they took to climb.
Sunday ski tour options include Santiam Pass, Hoodoo ski area (fee), or Three Creeks.
Carpools will be encouraged. Breakfasts on Sat and Sun plus Friday dinner will be pot lucks. The price for this weekend includes housing at Black Butte Ranch and pizza dinner on Saturday after the John Craig Tour. The pizza dinner, at the Best Western Ponderosa Lodge in Sisters, is held in conjunction with the presentation of the John Day Trophy for ONC Excellence in Leadership.
