MIDDLE SISTER
MIDDLE SISTER
Middle Sister offers some of the best skiing of the Three Sisters. The Southeast Ridge is a Oregon classic that offers up more than 3000 feet of continuous skiing. Hayden Glacier offers mellow summer time skiing while the couloirs of the east face are as daunting as they come. Access is a bit of an issue and a snowmobile helps in the winter to access the Pole Creek Trailhead. Middle Sister is best skied during late spring and early summer when camping in the elements isn't too brutal.
