Marked Forest Service trails link with more adventurous tours to Midnight Lake, the Willamette Pass Ski Area, Rosary Lakes and other destinations. The volunteer Nordic Ski Patrol maintains a warming hut at the parking area. 46375 Highway 58, Westfir, Oregon 97492, 433-2234. The resort at the east end of Odell Lake is opened daily. The rustic lodge offers hotel and cabin accommodations, a restaurant, ski rentals and lessons.
Trails are great for the beginner and intermediate skier.
Additional Forest Service trails are accessible from the lodge. Odell plows its own lot and access road from Highway 58, so Sno Park permits are not required. Day visitors do have to pay a small parking fee, however. Call early for weekend lodge reservations. 72, Crescent Lake, Oregon 97425, 433-2540.
