BEND, Ore. For a quarter of a century Jim Valentine, the president of Ochoco Snow Sports, a Prineville snowmobile club, has been enjoying snowmobiling trails all around Oregon.
North, south, east and west of Bend there are areas to rev up the engines of snowmobiles and cruise through the snowy forests.
“The thing about Central Oregon is there are a lot of good riding areas between Mount Bachelor, Paulina Lake, Sisters, out in Prineville,” Valentine said. “You have a large area to choose from out of Central Oregon.”
