Set your intentions for the new year with help from essential oils. Neroli essential oil supports in making decisions and moving forward in a positive, focused direction.* Apply it to your wrists, neck or bottoms of feet.

Norwex - Kathy Hill - Chemical Free Tips

This is a fun Norwegian fact: In 2017, Norway became the first country to turn off FM radio and switch completely to digital. I wonder what folks listen to? Do they have all music stations?

BFit Gyms - Exercise Tips

Visitors Center

Ski Oregon

Oregon's 13 ski areas offer a huge range of skiing, snowboarding and other snow sports fun - from bombing the black diamond to chilling on the bunny hill. From destination resorts to luxurious lodges to community ski hills, here's a peek into a few of Oregon's favorite snowy slopes.

Mt. Hood Skibowl: porch-to-powder

Test your skiing and snowboarding skills on 65 runs during the day at Mt. Hood Skibowl, then power through the 34 runs lit up at night at America's largest night ski area. Relax in the luxury condos at Collins Lake Resort, where your porch-to-powder shuttle service will bring you slope-side in mere minutes.

Mt. Hood Meadows: terrain for all

Head to Mt. Hood Meadows for some of Oregon's best and most varied skiing and snowboarding terrain, perfect for beginners and experts alike. Ski and stay packages at Best Western Plus Hood River Inn, Cooper Spur Mountain Resort and Mt. Hood Vacation Rentals give you plenty of cozy accommodation options. And a visit to the big mountain wouldn't be complete without a stop at the historic Timberline Lodge - a magnificent ski lodge and mountain retreat for everyone to enjoy.
