Warner Canyon is a small ski area in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located in the Warner Mountains of south-central Oregon. Operating since 1938, [1] the ski area was once within the Fremont National Forest, but the land is now owned by Lake County; a land swap was completed between the USFS and Lake County in 1998. [2]

It is located 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Lakeview, a driving distance of 9.4 miles (15.1 km). There is one triple chairlift serving the hill, with two landings. [1] The total vertical drop is 780 feet (240 m). [1] The area is operated by a local non-profit, the Fremont Highlanders Ski Club. [3]
