Spring Ski at Crater Lake


Just back from a recreation/travel shoot at Oregon's Crater Lake National Park, only a few short hours from Portland.  Its mid May and no lack of snow there with around 7 feet of the packed white stuff around and still on the rim drive.  Road clearing crews will have their work cut out for them this season.

That is a really beautiful image. I visited Crater Lake in the summer time and while it was beautiful, still had to contend with a lot of people. I would love to ski in there sometime.

Thanks. It's weird as I've been here (Portland, Oregon) for about 5 years and have always wanted to visit Crater Lake but took about 4 yrs to get my act together and make it out there. Not sure why we decided on early Spring with 7' of snow. Lots of folks near the lodge and then nobody 5 minuets down the trail. I guess you can ski around the whole lake in as fast a day or several and winter camp depending on your level of adventure...........
