Bring your Telemark or AT gear and challenge yourself climbing up Wi ng Ridge and skiing the backcountry powder.

There’s also Ferguson Ridge Ski Area where lift tickets are $20/day at this small community built &\; opera ted ski area. Since there’s no groomed trails\, very skinny skis are not appropriate for this trip and skins may be needed\, depending on snow con ditions. Spring ski conditions can often involve hard crust or ice so skin s are important to have\, even if not always needed.\n\nWe stay in one lar ge house in Joseph and we will share potluck dinners. There are also lots of restaurants in Joseph and nearby Enterprise. We generally enjoy the las t night sharing beers &\; dinner at Terminal Gravity Brew Pub. Carpools will leave Portland on Thursday\, arriving in Joseph early that evening. Skiing can be enjoyed on Friday\, Saturday\, Sunday\, and return to Portla nd Monday. Joseph is walking distance from the house so it can easily be e xplored in the evenings along with the scenic Wallowa Lake.\n\nThe house h as 5 bedrooms with queen beds and a bunk room with 10 bunks.
