New Year’s at Black Butte, OR

Dec.30-Jan.3, Wed- Sun

All Ability Ski

Celebrate the New Year in the peaceful setting of Black Butte Ranch. No loud, inebriated parties here. Instead, settle in by the fire with a congenial group of Nordic skiers and enjoy good food, wine and interesting conversations after an invigorating day in the outdoors. This central Oregon location is close to skiing on Santiam Pass and the Three Creeks area near Sisters. Mt.Bachelor Ski Area, which boasts access to prime backcountry skiing as well as groomed trails, is only 32 miles away. If the snowpack is low, hiking is always an option – from the panoramic Smith Rocks to along the Metolius River, where otters play in its clear waters. Amenities at Black Butte include a hot tub and swimming pool at the Glaze Meadow recreation center, a short walk from our rental. For those who want to take a break from outdoor activities, the historic town of Sisters with its restaurants, bakery, bookstore and various shops is close by. This trip is sure to appeal to everyone who wants to relax and escape the humdrum of daily life.

Trip limit: 10 participants, including the leader.

Cost: $245.00 per person, includes four nights of lodging.
