Oregon Winter Wonderland – Ski, Skate, & Whale Watch!
There aren’t many places you can go skating, skiing (on volcanoes!) and Whale Watching – all on the same trip – but Oregon is a true winter wonderland and an undiscovered gem..
Skiing
Oregon’s long awaited ski season has finally arrived, and it is time to go a-shredding on the mountain! Ski out from the historic Timberline Lodge (which turns 75 this year) on Mt. Hood. With the most vertical feet in the U.S. Pacific Northwest — 3,690 vertical feet from the top of Palmer Glacier to the bottom of Still Creek Basin — Timberline also has snow cat skiing, night skiing and several terrain parks.
At Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort, you’ll be looking down the barrel of more than 3,000 skiable acres, 71 runs and the highest ski terrain in Oregon.
In Sisters, you can take on the Nordic skiing at nearby trails, or the alpine terrain at the fun and accessible Hoodoo Ski Area, or ski from the lofty summit of the Mt. Ashland Ski Area, which has varied terrain for skiers of all levels and twilight skiing on select evenings.
