The rugged, heavily forested Willamette Pass area straddles the crest of the Cascade Mountains southeast of Eugene. This 5,126 ft. pass marks the divide between Willamette National Forest on the west side, and Deschutes National Forest. Although easily accessible, this area is rarely skied by anyone but locals since most skiers just go straight to Mt. Bachelor. The pass gets plenty of snow, and breaks in the forest offer views to the south of and Mount Thielson. The Willamette Pass Ski Area has over 20 km. of groomed trails laid out by the famous Bill Koch, Olympic skier and World Cup champion. The trails feature long hills and manageable turns that wind their way through dense forests and stands of old growth fir. Pengra Pass trails start from Gold Lake. The trails are not groomed, but usually set by other skiers, and include an interesting variety of short loops through heavy timber and trails following gentle roads. Some excellent views are within easy reach for intermediate skiers, and two shelters along the trails provide warm up breaks. If this still isn't enough there are even more routes across the road in the Diamond Peak Wilderness. Two small areas, Shelter Cove and Lodge, have four and six mi. of groomed trails respectively. Seven miles further east is the 14mi. Crescent Lake loop with access to Waldo Lake, and which ascends up Oregon's own Fuji Mountain (probably named for its picturesque beauty). Santiam Pass leads to two different tour skiing destinations sandwiched between Mt. Washington Wilderness and Mt. Jefferson Wilderness to the north. I have personal notes about how nice this area is from several years ago when we visited the site on another trip. Eugene also is a wonderful college town with restaurants and lots of other attractions which we can visit in the evenings. Provided: airfare, transit, lodging. Dates 3/11-14 Cost $657
