It’s time to dust off your skis and sleds and head to one of the snow parks in Bend! We live in a wonderful place to enjoy a wide range of winter recreation actives. From backcountry skiing at Tumalo Mountain to sledding at Wanoga, there is something for everyone!
When you’re heading from Bend, you’ll first come to Virginia Meissner, followed by Wanoga, Swampy Lakes, Vista Butte and finally Dutchman Flat just before entering Mount Bachelor. When you’re heading from Sunriver, you’ll pass Edison Butte and Kapka before hitting the turn to Bachelor. Additionally, there is a snow park that can be found at the end of Skyliner Road. To use the snow parks in Bend, you’ll need to get a sno-park parking permit. Get out there and enjoy an amazing winter in Central Oregon!
