Tatoosh Backcountry Overnight Ski/Ride This winter trip will focus on exposing competent resort skiers and snowboarders to the new and challenging aspect of backcountry riding. This will include making turns as well as bringing awareness to the risks and hazards of winter backcountry travel. A ‘good level’ of physical fitness is required as we will be earning all our turns (hiking up to ski down). We will be carrying heavy packs and sleeping in below freezing temperatures. The equipment list is provided to help you prepare for the trip, we expect you to have the equipment on the list! Attached is a list of gear which the ODP will provide, and a list of suggested personal equipment you will need to provide.

Snow Camping Overnight Experience a whole new meaning of camping. This winter, bundle up for a historical and scenic trip to the Mountains! Come learn how to stay warm in a snow camp. The terrain we will be traversing on snowshoe will be moderately difficult. So get ready to warm up outside in the snow and amidst the trees!

Rock II Seminar This is an intensive workshop created specifically to prepare individual climbers with the skills necessary to set out on their own outdoor climbing trip. Skills to be covered include anchor construction and cleaning, rappelling, basic self-rescue techniques and safe top rope setup. Prerequisite: Have proficient basic rock climbing skills and/or receive consent from a PE class Instructor or from Climbing Center Staff.

Bike Tour This bike tour will travel 100 miles up the scenic Oregon coast along highway 101 over 2 days. It will be an exciting and challenging ride along some of the most amazing coast line the Pacific Northwest has to offer. While this trip is relatively easy it is not a Sunday stroll on the waterfront. Participants should be capable of riding 50 miles in a day. There will be plenty of beaches and shorelines to explore on the way or to just observe and take in the view. Because there is the potential for rain during this trip we will be staying in yurts provided by the Oregon state park system. There are a couple of climbs on this stretch, 2 of which are about 400 feet in elevation. However, for every uphill there is always an exhilarating and rewarding downhill. We will plan on leaving Portland at 5:00pm on Friday, March 2 and returning late Sunday evening.

Canoe & Service Trip This is a free trip to Whitaker Ponds. The morning will consist of a maintenance and planting party at Whitaker Ponds with the Columbia Slough Watershed Council. Projects will primarily involve spreading wood chips, planting natives, and a bit of weeding. In the afternoon, participants will get to canoe around the Whitaker Ponds and out into the Columbia Slough.

|
X-Country Ski Come explore the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest with us while practicing the kick glide movement of cross country skiing. Boasting open views of Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens, Hard-Time loop is located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This trip would be great for beginners and seasoned skiers.
