Halfway between Santiam Pass and Sisters is the very popular Lake Creek Lodge.
Boasting quaint, rustic cabins paneled in knotty pine, fireplaces, full kitchens and a creek coursing thru the grounds, it is the ideal ambience for a XC ski holiday. Check out the website at www.lakecreeklodge.com Separate rooms for couples/genders.
We'll carpool over on Friday, have a traditional Nordic Club potluck dinner on Saturday, with leftovers and a slideshow on Sunday. Ski options are many -- Santiam Pass, Mt. Bachelor area, Maxwell Sno-Park, Tam MacArthur Rim, and if we're lucky, right out the door of our cabins.
This trip offers off-trail options for members who have the competence and equipment needed to enjoy and navigate ungroomed and downhill slopes under varied snow conditions.
