drops, set up my skies on
the perfect line and then
dropped down, through a
rush of cold air and flying
snow.
It was exactly the type
of speed and cerebral
challenge that had been
lacking on snowshoes.
Eventually, I connect-

which has a reputation of
the fastest route at Ray

Benson, and indeed, the
final few miles offered
some nice rolling hills to
end the journey.
I still enjoy snowshoe-
ing, especially for more
technical, off-trail or
sketchy snow adven-
tures. But for this winter,
it’s all about gliding along
with a little more speed
and challenge in Oregon’s
snowy backcountry.
Notes
-If you’re interested in
getting into cross country
skiing, I’d highly recom-
mend joining and getting
tips from the Oregon Nor-
dic Club’s Willamette Val-
ley chapter.
- I typically wake up
before dark and try to
reach Ray Benson at sun-
rise so I am on the trail
early. Not only do you en-
counter fewer crowds but
also enjoy cooler snow
that doesn't stick to your
skis as much.
-Make sure to thank,
contribute to or volunteer
with
the
Cascade
Volunteers, who do lots of
work clearing logs off the
trails so we can enjoy it,
along with the Mount Jef-
ferson Snowmobile Club.
-Remember to pack
the 12 winter essentials
before
heading
out.
Those include:
1 Winter First Aid kit
2 Matches and fires-
tarter
3 Extra food and wa-
ter
4 A rain, snow and
windshell and extra
clothing and gloves or
mittens
5 Plastic whistle
6 Camp, compass and
handheld GPS / smart
phone
7 Flashlight with ex-
tra batteries and
8 Emergency reflec-
tive rescue blanket
9 Pocket knife
10 Avalanche cord or
transceiver and snow
shovel when in ava-
lanche country
11 Sunglasses or gog-
gles
12 Ski repair kit
