Oregon Living Outdooregon Find Fresh Tracks at Mt. Bailey Experienced skiers quench their thirst for fresh tracks and massive amounts of snow on Mt. Bailey, just five miles north of Crater Lake National Park. The 8,360-foot Cascade mountain peak catches winter storms from the coast, collecting 500 to 600 inches of snow each season and making for many waist-deep powder days. Experienced backcountry skiers can skip the cat and skin up the ungroomed mountain. But for $350 per cat skiing Southern Oregon person, Cat Ski Mt. Bailey (catskimtbailey.com) takes skiers on six to eight runs down chutes, tree runs and open bowls. Guides determine which part of the 6,000 acres of terrain will offer the best tracks and weather each day for the best experience. Basic lodging, food and drinks are available at the Diamond Lake Resort (diamondlake.net), where rustic motel rooms range from $79 to $109 a night and cabins range from $179 to $559 depending on size and vintage. Rates are higher on weekends and holidays. Hike the Badlands Solitude. Serenity. Silence. That, says David Eddleston, is reason to hike in the 30,000-acre high desert wilderness called Badlands, 15 miles east of Bend on Hwy 20. Eddleston, a Scotsman and veteran of the British Army, moved to Bend ten years ago and soon fell in love with the Badlands' rugged canyons, jagged lava formations and ancient juniper trees. Today he leads a volunteer stewardship group, Friends of Oregon Badlands Wilderness and stocks maps at trailheads to help visitors navigate the 45 miles of trails. Hiking in the Badlands is particularly pleasant in the winter when the trails aren't dusty and afternoon temperatures can reach 50 degrees. The Flat Iron Trail and Badlands Rock Trail, both about 6 miles, are popular routes, but Eddleston's personal favorite is the 6- or 10-mile Larry Chitwood trail loops. These trails are rarely visited, easy to bushwhack without getting lost, and marked by rocky outcroppings and 360-degree views of the Badlands and winter hiking Central Oregon Cascade Mountains. When visiting the Badlands, keep an eye out for pictographs and obsidian arrow heads – but leave them undisturbed. Also expect to see wildlife such as deer, coyotes or yellow bellied marmots.

Miles of hiking just 20 miles east of Bend make for a good rest day when skiing. right: Cat skiing at the remote Mt. Bailey is one day you'll not soon forget.
