Beginner to Intermediate Forest Trails
“Love Yourself” on Valentine’s Weekend with a splendid ski retreat near Mt. Adams! Enjoy the serenity and mountain vistas at the Trout Lake Abbey on Feb. 14-16, within easy reach of Portland. Ski the gentle and uncrowded trails at the Atkisson and Pineside Sno-Parks. Grab spikes and a light to explore the Guler Ice Cave at Atkisson. Walk the Labyrinth at the Abbey in clear view of Mount Adams. Check out the fascinating Druid Sanctuary on the property, too. Gather together with other skiers for potluck dinners that the group will put together in the commercial kitchen and socialize by the fireplace in our private meeting space.
Geared primarily for Beginner to Intermediate skiers. A variety of lodging options, including a modern cozy cabin for four and traditional B&B rooms with spectacular views of the mountain. If snow is scarce, we can snowshoe, hike the Klickitat Trail, visit the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Glenwood, or find other fun in White Salmon, Lyle, or Hood River. Pricing and other details to come.
