Trail Pass
We encourage all participants to support Meissner Nordic by purchasing an individual or family membership for the grooming and trail maintenance at Meissner Sno Park.
Meeting Location
Meissner Sno Park (13 miles SW of Bend off of Century Drive)
Our programs are community-oriented and the proceeds support junior development and grooming at Meissner. Meissner Sno Park is on Century Drive, half way between Bend and Mount Bachelor so you have a shorter drive and more time to ski. The terrain includes extended flats with rolling and steep hills on over 30km of groomed trails and more trails are added every season. Plus, the snow remains excellent from December thru April in most years.
Equipment
Don’t have skis? Check out the latest inventory, rentals and demos at Webskis, Sunnyside Sports and Pine Mountain Sports.
Enrollment
We keep our group sizes limited to reduce impact on the trails and provide you with personal attention. Enroll promptly to guarantee your spot in the program!
