The_North_Face Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Join Gabe Chladek of Three Sisters Backcountry as he discusses new Yurt Huts and Wilderness Skiing in the Central Oregon Cascades Thursday, November 19th, 8PM (light refreshments served) THE NORTH FACE, 1202 NW Davis Street, Portland, OR (503) 727-0200 Gabe Chladek shares the history of backcountry skiing in Central Oregon and how Three Sisters Backcountry created a unique wilderness hut skiing opportunity. At Three Creek Lake located just outside the Three Sisters Wilderness, two beautifully hand-crafted 20’ yurts await backcountry skiers. From the huts, ski the surrounding meadows and bowls, or follow the wilderness westward over spectacular ridges, lakes and buttes leading to the 9-10,000’ peaks of Broken Top, South, Middle, and North Sister. The terrain offers limitless tours and ski lines for all ability levels. Gabe will discuss current and future offerings of Three Sisters Backcountry, including yurt stays, guided ski tours, and avalanche safety and training through the Oregon Avalanche Institute. Gabe is an experienced Forest Service Snow Ranger and Ski Patroller, as well as AIARE (Level I & II) avalanche course leader. He carries a wilderness EMT, and brings a strong history and intimate knowledge of the Central Oregon Cascades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
