Tam McArthur Rim Ski Touring

Taking advantage of the last day of a long standing high pressure system, Pete, Mike and Nick ventured into Tam McArthur Rim for some backcountry skiing. Lying just southeast of the Three Sisters and northwest of Bend, Tam McArthur Rim boasts lots of varied ski terrain above treeline with spectacular views of the Sisters to the west and the desert to the east.
Great day to be out in the high country. We sampled only some of the highlights of this area from rolling glades and trees to challenging steeps. If backcountry skiing is something you're interested in exploring get in touch with us, we'd love to show you around.
