Trip Rating: All Abilities Ski
Basecamp: Odell Lake, OR Cascades
High up in the Cascades east of Eugene lies Willamette Pass and the beautiful Odell Lake. Odell Lake is situated at 4,800 feet, so there is plenty of snow plus great scenery. We will stay at Shelter Cove Resort in the in the large two-unit Kokanee Lodge. Each unit comfortably sleeps 6 with one king room, one queen, and a room with bunkbeds. Beautiful views right on the shore of Odell Lake.
There are a number of good ski routes near the Pengra ski area, the trails to Gold Lake, smaller trails right around Shelter Cove Resort, and the incredible Maklaks loops. Willamette Pass Ski Area has 22 km of beautifully groomed trails, however there are trail fees. Come experience a real winter in this beautiful snow-laden resort on a gorgeous high mountain lake.
Tuesday dinner is on your own. There are some restaurants on your way in Oakridge and some small pubs and restaurants within 6-10 miles of the resort. There are also some small pubs nearby. But check out hours of operation before you leave. We will potluck on Wednesday and Thursday for dinner. All breakfasts and lunches are on your own. The kitchens come equipped with most items and include microwaves but some supplies could be in short supply, so bring if in doubt.
