Billie Creek Ski 12.23.09

Eighteen backcountry skiers from the Southern Oregon and Grants Pass Nordic Clubs met at the Fourmile Lake Sno-Park on Highway 140 and skied up the west side of Billie Creek. The skies were clear, the 4-6 inches of new snow powdery and the deep woods was a veritable winter wonderland. After a lunch stop at the snowmobile road, the group divided into two. Some returned via the wide road and others took advantage of the broken trail and skied back through the woods the way they came. Everyone enjoyed a great pre-Christmas ski in the Cascades.
