Willamette Pass is renowned for having one of the steepest runs in the world. The "RTS" run's steepest point is 52 degrees, with an average of 45 degrees of steepness. But Willamette Pass is not limited to steep slopes. Willamette attracts a variety of visitors, including those looking to hone their giant slalom skills on the mountain's wide, gentle descending runs.
Really, Willamette Pass' specialty is its variety. It offers challenging runs for the more advanced and expert skiers, as well as a beginner area with its own magic carpet to ensure new skiers get off on the right foot. With 555 acres of skiable area, and 29 trails, one is sure to find their slice of heaven on the tightly packed powder of Willamette Pass. There are two peaks here serviced by 7 lifts, with the longest run a lengthy 3km. Snowboarders will particularly enjoy thrill seeking on Willamette Pass' great half pipe and terrain park.
Weather permitting, Willamette Pass opens its doors in November and keeps on doing so until mid-April. It is open from Thursday to Sunday from 9:00am to 4:00pm, with special hours on Friday and Saturday, Christmas Break, and Spring Break. On all these days the mountain is open from 12:30pm to 9:00 for twilight skiing. Additional activities available here are the mountain's tube park and the nearby cross country skiing.
Willamette Pass only has day facilities, so for evening dining options and lodging one needs to leave the slopes. Make sure to check out La Pine and Bend for a selection of dining options. Lodging speckles the roads throughout the area, with a variety of motels, inns, and cottages available.
