Spout Springs Ski Resort

Spout Springs Ski Resort, nestled near Weston, Oregon, in the picturesque Blue Mountains and the Umatilla National Forest, is located 4 1/2 hours east of Portland and 40 minutes south of Walla Walla, Washington. Spout Springs offers a budget-friendly place to ski and is ideal for beginners and families as well as travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path destination without the crowds of bigger resorts. The resort features child care, family memberships and a family-style restaurant serving up homemade cuisine. Spout Springs boasts powdery, packed snow, as is common along the West Coast. The annual snowfall average is 300 inches, plus snowmaking capabilities. The mountain includes wide, beginner-friendly slopes, with the longest run measuring a respectable 10,000 feet. That single run is nearly twice the height of the hill, which measures 5,500 feet at the peak, with a vertical drop of 650 feet. The ski season lasts an average of 125 days, from December to May.
