Welcome to Three Sisters Backcountry
Welcome! Our small family business operates remote ski huts in the Central Oregon Cascades between Sisters and Bend. We began offering AIARE avalanche courses in 2005, backcountry skiing out of our Tam Rim yurts in 2009 and we added a hut to hut ski traverse in 2014. We hope you have a chance to escape from whatever you are doing to let us host you in an amazing winter setting.
Update ?^ - For over 20 years, we have offered avy courses, guided backcountry / yurt based skiing, etc. etc. Locally owned and operated, etc. keep it short and sweet
