If the snow won’t come to us, go to it, by gum!
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
