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 in the Kokanee Lodge C and D units at Shelter Cove Resort. 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.
We will potluck on Saturday and Sunday evenings. On Friday you can eat in on your own, or there are restaurants in Oakridge on your way and a couple small country pubs within 10 miles of the resort. Bring your own breakfast and lunch foods. The kitchen comes equipped with most items and includes a microwave, but some supplies could be in short supply.
