The annual YMF ski retreat is coming up February 15 to 17! This year, the Oregon YMF will be hosting at Mt Hood. This event is always a highlight of the YMF calendar. Two cabins are booked in the shadow of Mt. Hood and hopefully we can bring a large group! If you aren't into skiing, alternative activities will be organized to ensure that everyone will have something to do.
Attendance is first come first serve, so please RSVP to
