Terrain, ability and who it is for
- The Wallowa’s intercontinental snowpack, in excess of 400 inches a winter, provides wide-open bowls, old-growth glades, and classic couloirs.
- Ringed by peaks just shy of 10,000 feet, our ski terrain boasts abundant north-facing powder slopes ensuring fresh tracks well after a storm plus non-technical summits.
- McCully basin is where it all began for WAH in 1980.
- But, everyone agrees what makes McCully truly special is it's unique location situated inside the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. Solitude, fresh tracks, and glistening slopes abound.
- Wing Ridge Camp sits at 7200 ft and is approached from Salt Creek Summit SnoPark 6100ft.
- Big Sheep camp is located behind Wing Ridge accessed via the Wallowas highest SnoPark, Salt Creek Summit at 6100ft.

Where you stay
Wing Ridge: There is a 20ft diameter kitchen yurts outfitted with all necessary accoutrements, but no oven. There are also two sleep wall tents that accommodate 6-beds, two latrines, and a shared sauna yurt inside a yurt!
McCully: As the ski gear evolved into sophisticated downhill touring equipment, the camp has grown into a little yurt village.
Getting There
Wing Ridge Camp is approached from Salt Creek Summit SnoPark 6100ft. The journey is 1.8 miles and is a 1100 ft elevation gain to camp.
Big Sheep: Traveling 3 miles with light day packs up and over 7500ft saddle of Wing Ridge Trail #1828, eliminates the first-day slog to camp and allows for turns on the way to and from camp located at 6400ft in BigSheep drainage; or u can circumnavigate Wing Ridge via the Wagon Trail of 4miles flat-tracking. Snomo porter service follows lower FS39rd(6-miles) then right onto the FS100rd(3-miles) following up Big Sheep Canyon.
Our McCully Basin camp at 7500ft elevation sits 1.5 miles inside the northeastern Eagle Cap Wilderness Area.
