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]
