Sun River

Skiing is something I force our family to do. Everyone complains. It's expensive. Why do we do it? Because it's an opportunity to be outside in the winter in the Northwest. It's always beautiful even if the weather is terrible. It's a little bit of adventure.

Every year, we go with family friends over the MLK holiday. They suggested Sun River Oregon. We skied at Mt. Bachelor. I've never been to central Oregon. It was beautiful. I quizzed all the people from Bend wondering how they live in such a remote but incredible place. Turns out there are some good jobs in Bend but I decided it was too far from a major airport to be of long-term interest to me.
