Trail Daddy’s Featured Event – Cross-country Skiing at Teacup Nordic Ski Area.

📍 Location: Teacup Nordic Ski Area, Mt. Hood

What’s a “Featured Event”?

Think of it as a low-key or DIY adventure. You get to ski at your own pace. There is no structured itinerary—just a day of skiing, fresh air, and maybe some après-ski stories to swap later.

What You Need to Know:

🛷 Trail Info: Teacup has trails for all skill levels. Check out their website to find the best fit for you.

🎿 Gear Up: You’ll need cross-country skis, boots, and poles. Dress in layers, bring sunscreen and don’t forget sunglasses (snow glare is real!). Need rentals? The Mountain Shop in Portland has you covered: Rental Info – A basic classic package runs about $30.

⚠️ Stay Safe: Tell someone your plan, bring water and snacks, and carry a small first-aid kit. Know the signs of hypothermia and frostbite—safety first, always.

🎟️ Trail Pass: Teacup Nordic requires a pass, which you can obtain here: Teacup Nordic Pass Info.
