Looking for something to do over spring break?  Here's an opportunity to really go play in the snow.  In four days, up to eight campers will XC and downhill ski/snowboard, and snowshoe.   They will be accompanied and instructed by accomplished mountain guides who are truly at home in the snow.  We will stay in the awesome snowshoe-in Barlow Trail cabin on Trillium Lake in the Mt. Hood area for three nights.  The cabin has electricity, beds with linens, and a sauna!

For the more adventurous, an optional one night tent camp is available.
