Anthony Lakes in the Elkhorns
Plenty of powder, few crowds at Anthony lakes, a skier’s dream and a summer mountain lover’s utopia
Winter Logistics
The full-service lodge includes a café, bar, retail shop and rental shop. Order a local beer at Starbottle Saloon. During the winter season, the lodge is open from Thursday through Monday. Every Thursday, lift tickets are half price.
Snow Cat Tours
For a full or half day of powder skiing in the surrounding backcountry for up to twelve people, book a snow cat trip. Access 2,000 acres of steeps, bowls and glades, covering 1,000-1,700 vertical feet per run. Lunch and snacks included.
In Summer, Bike it
Where to Stay
The downtowns of Baker City, Union and La Grande are all located within just under an hour’s drive. North Powder is just seventeen miles from the ski area, and has several lodging options. If you can’t bear to leave the powder or the mountain bike trails behind for the night, book a yurt just a quarter of a mile from the main lodge. The yurts sleep five to eight people and are fully outfitted with a wood stove for heat (including cut and split firewood), kitchen basics, lanterns, bunks, a table, games and access to an outhouse.
