We're headed back to Texas to visit family for a week. Hoping to come back to some snow but it doesn't look like it.
I don't really expect to ski Ashland until after Christmas or the new year even. I was planning on taking off the week between Christmas and new years but might work to save for some ski days in Jan.
Speaking of which, have you been to Hoodoo or Willy P? Got a trip out towards Eugene in January and was thinking of stopping by. My Ashland pass gets me 4 free days at Hoodoo.
We're the inverse. We're not going back to TX this year, but a constant migration of DFW/HTX folks through our house looking to ski and it's sucked. Safe travels!
I've skied Hoodoo on the way to Bend twice. I love it. It's just easier to go Bach from Bend/Sunriver. There's a cool place in Sisters called Suttle Lodge, but we haven't stayed yet. But it would be a good place to launch into Hoodoo. When we get our Sprinter and can park in their overnight lots / Deschutes disperse, I'd like to ski it more!
Willy P looks fun. We got some half-day passess at Snowvanna there this year. I've never been! Post a report if you do go! I'm big into MTB and Oakridge is one of the big OR destinations and right next to Willamette Pass. I've been once, but never went further up the pass to the ski hill.
We haven't been back since before my second daughter was born, over 18 months ago, so we had to make the rounds and visit some family!
Very cool about the Sprinter. Lots of our ski resorts in the PNW support camping at the resort. We're in between an off road teardrop and a van. Van would be pretty sweet.
I'll look into Suttle Lodge. We're staying a night in Eugene to take my oldest to see the live Bluey show and then thinking we'll head to Sisters for a few nights after that.
I like the small mountain resorts and like visiting them so I'd like to swing by Willy P sometime and check it out. Have heard really good things.
