Winter Sports & Recreations in Oregon

Oregon Skiing & Snowboarding

Where the Siskiyous meet the Cascades, Southern Oregon skiers enjoy a ring of snow surrounding the Rogue Valley during the winter months. The breathtaking peaks and valleys, abundant snow parks, and accessible ski and snowboard areas make Southern Oregon an excellent destination for cross-country skiers, boarders, hikers, and snowmobilers. Ski areas include Mt. Ashland Ski Area, Mt. Bachelor, Mt. Shasta, Warner Canyon Ski Area, and Crater Lake National Park.

Ice Skating

Adults and children can enjoy ice skating at The Bill Collier Ice Arena, situated near our resort entrance. Also used as the rolling skating arena during the summers, the Sports Center at Running Y Ranch Resort can also double as an ice-skating rink during the winters.
