Spring Snow Sports to Enjoy in Central Oregon

What really makes spring snow sports in Central Oregon so special are the extended seasons.  It is no guarantee, but when the snow comes back again and again, it is like getting bonus time to savor the magical snow-covered landscapes.  Central Oregon is a winter sports enthusiast paradise, especially in spring time when we can see more comfortable conditions, more light and less crowds.  Here are a few of the most popular local snow excursions:

  • Alpine Snow Sports - Mt. Bachelor offer great classic skiing and snowboarding opportunities and warm cozy lodges for snacks and people watching. 

  • Cross Country and Skate Skiing- Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center, Meissner Nordic Center and Ray Benson Sno-Park are just a few of the popular locations to exert and have a blast in the snow.

Peter Skene Ogden Trail is a Favorite Off Season Hike

We have hiked from McCay Crossing to Paulina Falls multiple times, typically in the late fall and early spring when crowds are gone and snow accumulation is limited. We have always enjoyed the experience and have seen Paulina Creek and the numerous falls along the path in various stages of flow - spring run off, fall with lessened volume, and winter ice. Some of our favorite experiences have involved the ice, and we have named that experience "chasing frozen waterfalls."

The hike we did 11-11-23 was in the fall after first snow, but after warmer temperatures had melted much of the snow in the lower elevations. We saw just a handful of people the entire day and our hike up and back was much faster than we experience when we have to walk through snow. But we had an opportunity to discover little seen or accessed waterfalls and had a wonderful day. The total hike was 13.8 miles with roughly 1600 feet of elevation gain.
