Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing
OAS offers instruction and guides for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are great alternatives to alpine skiing and snowboarding offering many individuals access to the beauty of Oregon’s outdoors in wintertime. Nordic and snowshoe experiences can be facilitated at Mt Bachelor Nordic Center, Hoodoo Ski Area or Virginia Meissner Sno-Park depending on snow and conditions.
