This popular ski area is located 31 miles east of Oakridge on Highway 58. 

From the top of Eagle Peak there is a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view of the high Cascade mountains, Waldo Lake, Crescent Lake and Odell Lake. The base elevation for the ski area is 5,120 feet and the ski summit rises to 6,683 feet.

The ski area is operated under special use permit with the U.S. Forest Service and offers downhill skiing and snow boarding, groomed crosscountry ski trails, and a snow play area. Fees are charged for all these activities. For more information about what Willamette Pass Ski Area has to offer go to http://www.willamettepass.com/

You can access the ski trails listed below from a fee parking lot operated by the Willamette Pass Ski Area (sno-park permits are NOT valid). You can also access these trails from the Gold Lake Sno-park, where you need a sno-park permit. There is a corridor leading through the base of the ski area to the Pacific Crest Trail and Rosary Lakes area. A ski tour of approximately 4 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail (heading north from Willamette Pass) will lead the skilled and prepared backcountry skier to the Maiden Peak Shelter, a fully enclosed octagonal ski shelter that is free to the public.
