Skip_M._Kliphiem Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Thinking about heading down to central OR for some backcountry skiing; Sisters, Bachelor... Never skied there before. Any suggestions, references to previous TR's/threads and conditions would be appreciated. Quote
Cletus Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) Okay, I'll throw the bone a dog. Try South Sister, more South Sister, Broken Top, and not to be missed, the Bunny Col. Edited March 23, 2004 by Cletus Quote

Know_Fear Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 You have several options from Bend, i.e. Dutchman Flat snow park near Bachelor Butte (the most popular start point). Short tour - Tumalo Mt., med tour - Broken Top south side, long tour - S. Sister/Morrain Lake. You might also consider Khowl Butte wich is S/SE of Bachelor Butte. You'll see it on the left just before you get to the snow park. It's a haul, but the east face gets cooked in spring and can be the best corn around. It's bigger/steeper than it looks - roughly 1.5 X Tumalo Mt. I posted a TR for 3/14 re: Tam MacArthur Rim wich is the E/NE approach to Broken Top. P.S. I suggest that you pick up a copy of "Oregon Decents" by Dave Wagg. Quote
