Trip Rating: Easy to Intermediate Ski
Basecamp: Sunriver, OR
When it’s time to start skiing or finish hiking—as the case may be—ONC does it in Sunriver. This year, we’ll include a snow dance as well! Eight of us will stay in a comfortable house in this resort community 20 miles south of Bend, where we will be flexible about our sports but definite about Thanksgiving dinner. We expect to ski on the groomed trails at the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center or in the back country. We may hike to waterfalls or in the desert, take a field trip to the High Desert Museum, Observatory, Nature Center or Bend, and the house offers bicycles for use on the extensive paved trails in Sunriver. It is a rare delight when we have snow at our doorstep.
We will carpool to Sunriver and to trailheads. Skiing is easy to intermediate, and there are lessons and rentals available at Mt. Bachelor, where there is a fee for the groomed trails that usually open the day after Thanksgiving. If we go to Paulina Falls, a Snow Park permit is required there. The village at Sunriver has a supermarket, shops and restaurants. We will have passes to the Recreation Center, and our house has a hot tub. Check it out (the house is Whistler #20, new to us this year). Join us!
