Halloween Ski - October 31, 2004

Crater Lake NP - Dutton Ridge

Cross country skiing in Southern Oregon?

Where the Siskiyous meet the Cascades. Southern Oregon Nordic skiers are blessed with a ring of snow surrounding the Rogue Valley during winter months.

Our normal ski season starts by early December and sometimes as early as the first week of November. Snow cover at our usual venues starts getting thin by mid March, but skiers willing to travel to near by Crater Lake, Mt. Shasta, or Telemark skiers interested in climbing Mt. McLaughlin and Mt. Scott extend their ski season into April, May and beyond.

A good day at Crater Lake NP
