Bennett Ridge Nordic Ski

Activity Notes

This 8+ mile out and back ridge ski is a fun outing for intermediate-level nordic skiiers.  The entire route is on snow-covered roads. We?ll cross ?the Terrible Traverse?, pass through Gunsight Notch, and enjoy occasional views of the surrounding forest. Participants should have completed Mazamas Nordic Intermediate class within the last 5 years, or have equivalent skills and experience (mastery of diagonal stride, step turn & snow plow on low grade slopes). This area is not groomed and is shared with snowshoers.  Regular nordic skis (with or without metal edges) or backcountry nordic skis are appropriate for the terrain. If you choose to carpool, the suggested donation is $14 roundtrip. An Oregon Sno-Park pass is required to park at this trailhead.   GPS track here
