Thursday – Sunday, Intermediate/Advanced Ski
This is a 22-mile hut-to-hut tour from Dutchman Flat near Mt. Bachelor to Three Creeks Sno-Park near Sisters. The route roughly follows the historic Metolius Windigo Trail at 6,500 feet, on the eastern edge of the Three Sisters Wilderness Area. We will meet our shuttle Friday at 8 a.m. at Three Creeks near Sisters. Friday and Saturday nights will be spent in huts along the route, and Sunday evening we will drive home from Three Creeks. The terrain is un-groomed, rolling to gentle slopes and will not be subject to avalanche danger. The two huts are fully stocked with food, beds, wood stove, and cooking facilities. They provide sleeping bags as well; so you only need to carry a bag liner and your personal gear and clothing! We can’t anticipate the weather so the snow conditions could vary from untracked powder to icy and anything in-between. For what is provided and photos of the huts, use this link: threesistersbackcountry.com/huts/nordic-traverse-huts. Since the distance between huts is only eight miles on average there should be time for additional skiing and exploring opportunities.
