Keenan Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) So, I cant make it to Montucky this year but I can make it to Anthony Lakes, Oregon. I'm not posting this in the sessions forum because I'm not organizing anything. Here are details: Anthony Lakes has one chair, 900' of vertical and the highest base area in Oregon (7,100 ft.). It is cheap, $40 a day with 1/2 price on Thursday. So 4 days = $140.00 (You can buy discounted tickets on their website or Liftopia for $15-$20 a day) It is uncrowded. The grooming is excellent. It is usually sunny. It is easy to get to. Lodging in La Grande or Baker City is cheap. Saturday the 7th is "Snowblast", there will be a lot of spectators at the base but no crowds on the hill. There will be live music and a Chinese Downhill. Yes, I'm serious. So, who wants to ride with me? https://anthonylakes.com Edited January 13, 2020 by Keenan update pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburk Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Tempting. But might be too close to Montucky for my domestic safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Nice! I would love to ride out there, but I can't commit quite yet. Let's see how things are looking in January. Edited September 17, 2019 by Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcoach Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm in. Anthony Lakes is my home mountain now, really great riding. Would be fun to get some people out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I just found out that you can buy advance tickets on the Anthony Lakes website for $15 a day! So if anyone still wants to come out and ride with me it will be $65 for 4 days. (Thursdays are $20) https://anthonylakes.ltibooking.com/products/search?utf8=✓&partner_date=2019-12-17&start_date=2020-03-06 If a moderator would like to change the title from $140 to $65 that would be appreciated. I might have to buy a camper. Edited December 17, 2019 by Keenan update 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburk Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looks like we're planning on attending at least Friday through Sunday; will be myself, my spouse, and both of my daughters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburk Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Any special recommendations for lodging, or just find something in Baker City or La Grande? edit: booked an Airbnb in La Grande, it's almost the same distance from AL as Baker City, but it's 45 min closer to Portland. Will be riding Friday to Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be riding Friday to Sunday. I think it's the High School Basketball finals in Baker City and a livestock show, so there is more availability and cheaper rooms in La Grande that weekend. On a different note, the last time I was there the lift op was wearing leather chaps and a cowboy hat, he had already worked the livestock at sun up.

Keenan Posted February 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Just 2 more weeks until the "friendliest little ski area in Oregon" unknowingly hosts the smallest carving event in the west. I may just bring more boards than there are riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburk Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Make room in your car then for more boards. I'm bringing four riders; 2 hardbooters and 2 softbooters, but one of the softies tries to carve as much as possible, she even bought a full camber Burton this year, no rocker in that board.

jburk Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I have to thank @Keenan for bringing this to my attention. I just bought three days' worth of lift tickets for a family of four for the princely sum of $187. Total. For 12 tickets. It's like the 70s, but without the disco.

Now that you mention it, there is a disco band playing in the lodge from 3-6 on Saturday the 7th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great runs, great locals. Today was busy, Winter Carnival, new snow, I had to wait in line behind two other groups at least three times. And it once again cost $14.50 to ride today.

jburk Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Just got back from 3 days at Anthony Lakes. Will be going back next year, most likely more than once. For a single-chair hill, it's got a ton of variety for carving. Grooming was really good, no crowds even on Sunday, and super-cheap. I ended up with 12 lift tickets for $187. Here's a shot of what happens when you arrive 30 minutes after opening on a bluebird Sunday: we ended up twice as far from the lodge compared to the day before. Hard times indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
