Skiing, snowshoeing, and adventure in the Pacific Northwest and beyond!
Destination: Atkisson Sno-Park & Guard Station Terrain: Mixed trail options, groomed & ungroomed Trip Rating: All Levels but ski in/out with supplies
Pack your LED lantern, headlamp, and skis for 2 nights in this hidden rustic gem.
We will ski about 2.5 miles from the Atkisson Ski Park to the cabin. There is no electricity and no cell phone coverage, but there will be lots of serenity and stars (it's a new moon). Wood stove and propane heat. Propane cooking stove, cooking pots, pans, utensils and dishes on site. Propane lights and fridge (yes, fridge). Couches and table/chairs inside make it warm and comfy. Beds with mattresses. Bring a sheet/sleeping bag/quilt. Clean modern Forest Service outhouse.
Beginner level ski terrain, but you need to be able to ski in your clothes, sleeping bag, and food. Bring your own food for breakfasts and lunches. We will likely cook dinners together or as a potluck - details sorted out pre-trip.
