Blue Mountain Nordic Club maintains the Meacham Divide XC Ski area (see trail conditions page) within the Umatilla National Forest. The club is supported by members, with all membership dues going toward Meacham Divide grooming and groomer upkeep. Your support helps us keep the trails groomed for as long as the snow lasts! Please consider becoming a member of BMNC by setting up or renewing your membership in one of two ways: Using our online form that accepts online payments, or download and mail in the membership form. Or you can make a donation to BMNC using our online donation form.
Meacham Divide is one of the largest Nordic ski areas in Oregon, offering 20 kilometers of groomed trails, with varying levels of difficulty. At 4,100 feet in elevation and views of the 1,400-foot deep Meacham Canyon and Spout Springs Ridgeline, Meacham Divide has some great skiing and snowshoeing alongside some breathtaking views. Dogs are welcome on designated trails.
Please see the Meacham Divide Conditions page for the latest ski conditions. Visit TripCheck.com to view road cam pictures — the amount of roadside snow at Blue Mountain Summit is a good predictor of how much snow is at Meacham Divide. If you have a condition report, please email us at meachamdivide@gmail.com
