2025 NOHVCC Mobile Workshop: A Scenic Success in Oregon

On October 9, 2025, more than 70 participants gathered for the highly anticipated annual Mobile Workshop held during the NOHVCC Conference. This year, the conference committee introduced an exciting new format designed with attendees in mind—allowing everyone to enjoy breakfast at their starting locations. This thoughtful change gave participants a chance to sleep in after travel days and kick off the event with a relaxed morning in a beautiful setting.

 

The workshop was split into two groups. Half of the participants began their day at Octane Adventure Rentals in Sisters, Oregon, while the other half started at the Hoodoo Recreation Site at Santiam Pass. From there, attendees embarked on a scenic 30-mile OHV ride between the two locations, taking in some of Oregon’s most breathtaking landscapes.

 

At the summit, participants rotated through four engaging and informative demonstration stations:

  • WARN Winching Exhibit – A hands-on experience with essential winching techniques.
  • Quack Attack Rock Crawling Exhibit – Showcasing impressive off-road maneuvering.
  • Mount Jefferson Snowmobile Demonstration – Highlighting high-altitude snowmobile capabilities.
  • Oregon State Parks Equipment Demonstration – Offering insights into the tools and technologies used in park maintenance and management.

     

Each group spent four hours immersed in these stations before everyone came together at noon for a well-earned lunch. The meal, catered by Baldy’s BBQ from Bend, Oregon, was a hit—highly recommended if you haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet!

 

Though the weather at Santiam Pass was brisk, a cozy fire kept everyone warm and comfortable. After lunch, the groups swapped activities, ensuring that every participant had the opportunity to experience all the Mobile Workshop had to offer.

 

A huge thank you goes out to all who made this incredible day possible. From the organizers to the presenters and support staff, your efforts created a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
