All Abilities Ski (mostly groomed trails) or Snowshoe
Join us for two days of skiing over the President’s weekend. This is prime time skiing in the Central Cascades. Weather permitting we have options to ski the groomed trails at Mount Bachelor Nordic Center (56 km of groomed trails) or Virginia Meissner (40 km of groomed trails) in addition to the ungroomed trails around Swampy Lakes. Both Virginia Meissner and Swampy Lakes offer snowshoeing opportunities. This trip requires a minimum of two people for snowshoeing to ensure safety. This trip is using the new hotel model for accommodations.
We will be staying in Bend and have dinners out, or if preferred the hotel has both a refrigerator and microwave in-suite for those who are interested in eating in their room. A block of rooms has been reserved for this trip and participants will pay the hotel directly. For those who can leave Portland Friday morning, there is an option to ski before we check into the hotel as well as skiing on Monday before returning home.
