John Craig Memorial Ski Race and Tour, Saturday, March 18, 2023
A skiing tradition since the 1930’s

The John Craig Memorial Ski Race and Tour is scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2023. This event commemorates John Templeton Craig, the pioneer mailman who died during a sudden winter snowstorm on McKenzie Pass in December, 1877, in an attempt to deliver mail to the Willamette Valley. The Oregon Nordic Club conducts this annual event.

For 2023, the John Craig Memorial Ski Event will consist of self-timed ski races of about 6 or 12 miles and casual ski tours of the same lengths. The event will take place on Saturday, March 18, leaving from the East Snow Gate of Highway 242 (McKenzie Pass Highway), about 9 miles west of Sisters, Oregon. The ski trail is scheduled to be groomed for both skate and classic to make this historic ski event possible. We plan to have course monitors, rest stops, rescue, and medical support.

Ski racers and tour participants can complete either the course of about 12 miles to the Dee Wright Memorial at the top of McKenzie Pass, a shorter course of about 6-8 miles to Windy Point, or turn around when you wish. The races and tours can start any time after 9 AM but must begin by noon, to make sure you complete the event by 4 PM,

Registration: https://onc-pdx.org/events/john-craig-memorial-ski-race-and-tour-2023/
