Trip Rating: All Ability Ski

Base Camp:  Camp Sherman, OR

Halfway between Santiam Pass and Sisters, the very popular Lake Creek Lodge in the Deschutes National Forest boasts quaint, rustic cabins paneled in knotty pine, fireplaces, full kitchens, a creek coursing thru the grounds, and the ideal ambiance for an XC ski holiday.  Check out the website at www.lakecreeklodge.com. This is a couple miles directly north of Black Butte. We can even hike along the Metolius and watch the otters frolicking in the river.

We’ll carpool over on Friday, ski all day Saturday then have a traditional ONC potluck dinner on Saturday. Sunday we can do creative leftovers or dine at the Lodge. We’ll return Monday but stopping first Maxwell Butte sno-park to enjoy many miles of trail. The ski options are many and the group will decide on:  groomed trails/skating, and/or backcountry. Santiam Pass, Mt. Bachelor area, Dutchman Flats, Tam MacArthur Rim, and if we’re lucky at 3000 ft. elevation, right out the door of our cabins.  Separate rooms for couples/genders. Lodging is two cabins with 3 Queens, 6 twin beds.
