MOUNT THIELSEN (2) Elevation: 9,184 ft
Mount Thielsen is Oregon's own Matterhorn. Minus the rock quality! It offers many exciting ski objectives, most lie on the northwest and southwest faces. The obscure ridges of Mount Thielsen also offer some great skiing potential. The best lines are a couloir on the southwest face just below the summit and the far skiers right side of the northwest bowl. From the summit one can see Mount Shasta, Crater Lake, Mount Bailey, Diamond Peak, The Three Sisters, and others depending on the visibility. Usually the summit Pinnacle won't hold snow to make a true summit descent, but this is still a great objective if you are in the area.MT. BAILEY (1) Elevation: 8,368 ft
Mt Bailey is a shield volcano located 2.5mi west of Diamond Lake on the Umpqua N.F. With up to 3200ft of skiable vert, some say the best terrain is located on the east and northeast sides. The west side is rather symmetrical with the east but with its windward aspect there is less snow loading resulting in less avy danger. There are numerous ways to access Mt .Bailey depending on the time of year, roads are only plowed up to Three Lakes Snow Park in winter months. This mtn. is open to snowmobiles and also hosts a snowcat until late spring.
