Meacham
Divide Nordic Area
...was created to
give our families and visitors an easily accessible place to
enjoy nordic skiing and winter recreation. The Blue Mountain
Nordic Club built and manages the ski area. We depend on the
users of Meacham Divide and volunteers to operate and finance
this ski area.  No
trail fees are charged, but donations are encouraged to help
defray the grooming expenses. We encourage you to become a supporting
member of the Blue Mountain Nordic Club so that this unique
community recreation area may continue and grow. All contributions
are tax deductible, and you'll receive our newsletters, in addition
to an annual report. Volunteers are needed to help with trail
grooming, maintenance of the trails and facilities, and ski
instruction. Please see the
membership form or contact these folks for more information:

 We're
done for another season -- thanks for skiing with us and
we look forward to seeing you again next season.
Visit TripCheck.com
to view road cam pictures -- the amount of roadside snow
at Blue Mountain Summit is a good predictor of how much
snow is at Meacham Divide.

a condition report, please email

 The
Blue Mountain Nordic Club tries to groom trails regularly, especially
for the weekends. All trails are 12 feet wide, with both skating
and diagonal lanes. Trails are marked by plastic blue diamonds
attached to trees. Grooming usually begins in late November
when there is sufficient snow, and continues through March.
For current snow and grooming conditions, call Union Country
Tourism at 541-963-8588 or 800-848-9969.
SKIER SAFETY AND
RESPONSIBILITY CODE
Skiing at Meacham Divide is done at your own risk; skiing here
requires the same common sense and good judgment that is necessary
for any backcountry nordic ski excursion. Unmarked natural and
man-made hazards may be encountered. It is the skier's responsibility
to always ski under control and in such a manner that you can
stop or avoid other skiers or hazards. Ski only on trails within
your ability level. Snow conditions can vary and storms can
develop suddenly, limiting visibility. Cross country skiing,
as with other outdoor activities, can be inherently risky, and
requires that skiers be prepared for all conditions. It is possible
to become disoriented even on marked and groomed trails. Carry
a map, compass, extra clothing, and water at all times. The
trails are not patrolled or lighted at night. Grooming machines
and equipment may be on trails at any time. Use extreme caution
when near drop-offs by viewing points. Ponds and streams are
subject to unstable ice and snow. Oregon statutory Code 30.970-999
is in effect. In an emergency, dial 911. The nearest telephone
is in the town of Meacham, 6 miles west on I-84.
THE RULES!
- No Snowmobiles/ATVs
allowed on ski trails.
- Please, no dogs,
foot traffic, non-ski sleds or tubes. Snowshoers, please stay
off diagonal tracks.
- Do not approach/disturb
wildlife.
- Observe and obey
trail signs.
- Trails run both
directions.
THANK YOU! To our partners in the Meacham Divide Cross
Country Ski Area and Emily SnoPark:
