Thank You Mother Nature
Presidents’ Day Weekend and new snow – what an awesome combination. Up until this week things were not looking too good for our neighbor to the west – Hoodoo Ski Area. They had closed their very popular tubing area – the Autobahn, and the slopes were beginning to look a little bare. But mother nature came to the rescue and dumped 32″ of wonderful snow just in time for a long weekend.

Black Butte Ranch is the sponsor of Presidents’ Day weekend at Hoodoo and is offering a special ski package for your holiday weekend getaway. Book your weekend for four at only $115 per person and that includes a Country House vacation rental for the family, four lift tickets to Hoodoo and four guided snowshoe or cave tours with Wanderlust Tours.
When you are playing at Hoodoo don’t forget to pick up a trail map to get the $10 Apres Ski food voucher good at BBR’s Aspen Lounge (minimum two drink purchase).
With Hoodoo a short drive from the Ranch your ski weekend won’t be spent on the road, but enjoying all that the Ranch has to offer. Enjoy a cocktail or warm beverage out by the fire pit while gazing at the full moon (that will be around all weekend). Get a relaxing massage after a full day of winter activity at the Spa then treat the family to an exceptional meal at the Lodge Restaurant.
So make Black Butte Ranch your Central Oregon base camp, and leave your cares behind.
See ya around the Ranch!

Golf.com Article on CO Golf
It’s pretty cool when you get free publicity as we did in the Golf.com’s article about golf in Central Oregon (well, ok it actually says Bend, but covers Sunriver Resort all the way to Black Butte Ranch). Check out their review of the Big Meadow course atBBR http://www.golf.com/golf/courses_travel/article/0,28136,1908504,00.html. The author wrote”In truth, this is exactly the kind or course you want to play on the first day of your vacation, unlike its sisters track Glaze Meadow, which calls for bow-anarrow accuracy.” Ok, you can play Glaze on your second day of vacation.
