Wednesday – Sunday (plus Monday extra), All Abilities
It’s time to ski, eat turkey, and repeat. Nine of us will spend 4 nights in Sunriver Resort, arriving at our house Wednesday evening and carpooling to the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and environs to kick off the ski season on groomed and backcountry trails. Our new realtor is adding a 5th day free, so some may want to also spend Sunday night in Sunriver.
We have had snow outside of our door some years, but usually start skiing at the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center and beyond the day after our Thanksgiving feast. The Nordic Center, with its miles of groomed trails, opens early in the season and offers a range of trails for beginning to experienced XC skiers and skaters. We will also be prepared for hiking, and the resort has miles of paved walking and biking trails as well as a recreation center to which we will have passes. We ONC skiers have learned to be flexible early in the year.
Sunriver Resort is 20 miles south of Bend, blessed by sunshine and dry snow. We will carpool there and share potluck meals. Our house is equipped with a hot tub, well-stocked kitchen and a fireplace. The area is also near the High Desert Museum, and some folks take time to wander through Sunriver Village or go to the holiday crafts fair. We will carpool there and organize potluck dinners. This is where ski season begins!
