I live here in Beautiful Bend, near the Cascade mountains and the Mount Bachelor ski resort. Also, not real far is HooDoo ski resort and Sisters Lodge. We are a family that has traveled all the way across the country, originating in Florida (where i was born and lived for 38 year). Places we've called home : KY, UT, ID, OR, And, the Gulf Coast of Florida, which, for me, will always be my happiest place. Right now, loving the snow, though!! Oregon is known for a "winter wonderland"... come & see.
