    not so good

    Too expensive for such a dinky little hill --- only one short chairlift...and its SLOW, and seems to be almost always windy...freakin cold as it moves in slo mo. (and they are soo lame...for years have not put in a modern and cheap wind meter---so it often is frozen and reads 0 wind...when its really blasting, so don't trust the wind report. Because of slow lift, often lines at the only lift. Dark little bar...but ok.

    Fun smaller ski area in Eastern Oregon

    We've been here twice now, once for downhill skiing and a second time for cross-country skiing. Although not as expansive as some of the bigger ski resorts, the quality of skiing here is high and so is the altitude. Snow conditions have been excellent both times we've been here, and the runs and trails haven't been crowded.

    Great little ski area

    This is a great place to take family and friends. It’s not a big mountain but great snow and so affordable for families. There’s also cat skiing on the backside for the more adventurous.

    Great Vibe Cool Terrain

    Finally made my first trip here after 24 years in Boise. Sure glad I did as Tony Lakes is way cool. Very much a hometown hill with little in the way of amenities but long on friendliness. Very picturesque with all the volcanic spires. Terrain has some fun features but vert is short. Enjoy the ride on the fixed grip chair. Didn’t see much for ski touring terrain from lift but maybe it’s there? Nordic trail system looked to be a winner. Would love to try the catski someday. Baker City is a funky cool town to overnight in.

    Sunshine and Powder

    I’m not really supposed to talk about Anthony. It only opens Thursday through Sunday. Had snowed all week including the Wednesday evening I arrived in North Powder. Thursday morning was bright and sunny. Thursday morning brought untracked powder from Hell to breakfast. The planets had aligned for the perfect ski day. By Friday the slopes were all tracked out so I did every loop on the Nordic circuit. Complete solitude, great exercise, and spectacular views. Seriously, this is what keeps me going.
