My wife just rolls her eyes, every time that I say it, but we need to get to beautiful eastern Oregon and snowboard at Anthony Lakes. I say it a lot. I grew up about an hour away, but other than a summer drive, I have never been there. Anthony Lakes was the first ski area to show any interest in my wax and as far as I can tell, they are the nicest bunch of people that one will ever meet. So, when I’m standing in a 20 minute line for the privilege of riding Skyliner Lift with 2,000 other people for the tenth time, my mind wanders east, like a Pacific weather system dumping dry, fine snow on the Elkhorn Mountains. Watch this video and you’ll see what I mean (click on the arrows to the right).

Drex – GORGEOUS back country! Looks like “home.” Thanks for sharing. Now all we need is a tram all the way from the Willamette Valley (or Bend) to northeastern Oregon… – Nat

What, you don’t like the 14 hour, wintertime drive to get there?

If Paige ever gives in, and you decide to go to Anthony Lakes, I know a really nice little white-headed lady who would be THRILLED to do a little babysitting so that you two can enjoy that fabulous powder!
