Spout Springs Ski Area

About Us:

Spout Springs has been a family-owned and operated facility for 50 years. It has a long history connected to the Blue Mountains of Northeastern Oregon. Located on Highway 204 between Weston and Elgin, the resort is easily accessible on state highways that are well-maintained throughout the winter season.

The owners have always taken pride in the fact that the ski resort is a family-oriented facility. Everyone is welcome here from the beginner to the advance skier. This has always been a special place that the entire family can enjoy whether they like to ski, snowboard, or cross country ski.

Spout Springs owes part of its successful heritage to a decision by its original owners made in the late 1920s. They moved the Spout Springs ski area about four miles east to a point they had determined received substantially more snow. The solid snowfalls Spout Springs receives have allowed it to continue operating many years since then through March.

Spout Springs has been in continuous operation since the late 1920s.
