The Annual John Craig Nordic Ski Tour will be held on March 21, 2020 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. The return trip takes about half the amount of time they took to climb. There is a suggested donation of $10.00 for the John Craig Ski Tour.
Sunday ski tour options include Santiam Pass Sno-Parks, Hoodoo ski area (fee / rentals available), or Three Creeks Sno-Park.
Skiing on Friday is also possible for those willing and able to take Friday off from work.
The house at Black Butte has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is a hot tub, wood burning stove and plenty of room for games, puzzles and relaxing.
Breakfasts on Sat and Sun plus Friday dinner will be potlucks.
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.
