In addition to the railroad, there is also a quarry at Hogg Rock and the rotting Santiam Pass Ski Lodge building. Santiam Pass Ski Lodge, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1939-1940, and operated for 46 years as a ski lodge with overnight dorms and later as a youth camp. In 1986 it was boarded up. It has survived major forest fires in 1968 and 2003, withstanding flames in the latter fire after firefighters swathed it in kevlar sheets. Early 2018 Willamette National Forest issued a Special Use Permit to Dwight and Susan Sheets, Friends of Santiam Pass Ski Lodge to restore the lodge and operate it year round as a day lodge and rental venue. Funds for restoration project are from private grants and donations. Estimated timeline for the completion of the restoration is 4-5 years.
