MOON MOUNTAIN
MOON MOUNTAIN
Moon mountain is in between Tumalo mountain and Ball Butte. On a bigger scale, it's between Mt Bachelor & Broken Top (slightly west of both). It's just a quick 400 foot pitch, but a little bit steeper than most things around here (which isn't saying much). Usually, it's completely tracked out my snowmobilers, so it was nice to ski it before they venture out.
