If there’s one thing that frustrates me more than constant rain, it’s forecasted snow that never arrives! I’m not asking for a lot. It doesn’t have to be the blizzards I experienced in the Midwest. But if you say it’s coming, you better truck it in if you have to.

Assuming the weather people will continue over promise and under deliver, I thought I’d offer up the closest places you’re likely to find the stuff.

1. Trillium Lake – Rent some snowshoes or cross country skis in Portland. About 1.5 hrs.
2. Mirror Lake – Not so far from Trillium. Another good snowshoeing spot. About 1.5 hrs.
3. Summit Tubing Hill (or nearby Snow Bunny) – The name says it all. Old-school snow fun. Especially if the kids are along. About 1.5 hrs.

Safe travels,
Emily
