Reader Video: Road Trip To Small Areas In Eastern OR/WA
From Emilio Trampuz:
“It’s a video record of two senior ski buddies (Kurt Wilke and Emilio Trampuz) from Portland, Oregon, on a road trip to explore some smaller, less well known ski areas in eastern Oregon and Washington. We found fresh powder and sunshine. Each ski area had a different “feel”. Bluewood, WA, had the best powder. Ferguson Ridge, OR, had both powder and sunshine, a relaxed atmosphere and $20 lift tickets, the best deal in the US. Spout Springs was closed due to a safety concern. Dixie Summit is the smallest ski area in Oregon, with a lift ticket at only $5.”

Fun to see those areas! I’m from NYC and learned to ski in the NorthEast. Brrrrr! Icy! But a great place to learn ski techniques. (Ooh did that rope tow bring back hair-raising memories! ;-D ) Thanks for the video – I’ve skied all over, but never in Oregon. You guys are great skiers!
