Three days of skiing at the Three Sisters Hut at the base of Tam McArthur rim (see https://threesistersbackcountry.com/huts/ for details on the site). We’ll take the snowmobile porter in from near Sisters on Friday morning and have the Raven Yurt to ourselves. Each person will be responsible for their own food, but stoves or cooking gear is supplied (the snowmobile will carry us in so weight is not an issue).

 If the snow is good for turning then we’ll spend the next three days putting on skins and exploring the beautiful bowls of Tam McArthur rim and other runs. There is plenty of opportunity to ski as hard as you want or you can skip a loop and instead read/relax at the hut. If the snow is poor for turning then we’ll backcountry ski as a group (We’ll probably head out to Broken top for nice views.). We may mix doing loops of Tam McArthur with day tours if that is the group interest.

We head back Sunday afternoon. With this trip it is possible to drive from Portland Friday morning and be back in town Sunday evening. You may be exhausted at work Monday morning but you can pack in three great days of skiing with only one day off work.

 Backcountry skis and full length skins are required; full telemark or advance touring skis preferred. Each person must have avalanche transceiver, snow shovel and probe (can be rented).

Cost: estimated $200 per person for members; you must be a current ONC member before signing up for this trip. Includes two nights lodging and shuttle to yurt.
