Was a Cali native for 70 years. Moved to southern Oregon 30 miles north of Klamath Falls 2 years ago. I'm 2 hours from Mt Bachelor. It's a fun mountain real different from Mammoth Mtn. Grew up there skiing with my dad. Even got to meet Dave McCoy who is my hero. The things he did will never be repeated. I've died and gone to heaven living here. I've entered my hermit stage of life. Used to live in Santa Cruz, Ca. Even though the scenery and weather were fantastic I just couldn't deal with the shear amount of people. There were no more secret spots for locals. Life is good again.

Welcome @miatamarty ... @Philpug may be interested to know there's another Miata fan that's joined (if I'm reading your username correctly).

If you haven't found it yet, you might like to jump into the Pacific NW seasonal thread:

Pacific NW/AK/BC - 2022-2023 PNW Ski Resorts/Conditions/Meetups

It's that time of year when......when......when......when we don't know what to do with ourselves until it starts snowing. So, take the opportunity to post news about ski resorts in the PNW, plans for the upcoming season, and begin to discuss meetups large and small. And maybe let's clarify...

I've never been to Oregon but am planning to go for the first time this April. If I like it I might not come back.

Welcome to a great site with some good people. Understand your move. 20 yrs ago took your move +++10 to Northern Idaho to a town and valley with no traffic lights and almost no people.

I do have a 2016 Mazda Miata. All most as much fun as skiing. There are only 2 stoplights between my house and Bachelor. And that is in the course of 120 miles one way.
