My wife and I started the Crescent Lake Challenge because we love the terrain and views of the lake and local peaks that the ski race course provides. The distance of 23 kilometers is long enough to be challenging but not so long that a fairly new skier can't accomplish. It's also the only race in Oregon that loops around a lake.
