Explore Oregon Podcast: 15 winter adventures, from frozen waterfalls to snowy lookouts
Explore Oregon · 14 adventures to fill your outdoor winter calendar
In this episode, Zach and outdoors intern Eddy Binford-Ross debate their 15 favorite winter adventures in Oregon.
They talk about how to ski and snowshoe at Crater Lake during winter — and why it's better than summer — while breaking down a visit to a snowy fire lookout, waterfalls covered in ice and why the Oregon Coast Trail makes for great off-season trips.
Eddy, a ski instructor, also details why Hoodoo Ski Area is a strong alternative to the larger and more expensive resorts, while Zach chimes in about the wild history of Hoodoo — including the fact that the ski area was almost built at Three Fingered Jack.
