With over 4,300 acres of lift-accessible terrain, you won't want to pass up a trip to the ski resort with the highest skiable elevation in all of Oregon and Washington. Mt. Bachelor, located on the eastern flanks of Oregon's Central Cascades, is known for its dependable light, dry snow and diverse terrain. Where else can you ski down all sides of a volcano, and its crater as well. As a plus, home base for our trip is Bend, Oregon, with great dining and nightlife.
Best of all, Mt. Bachelor is legendary for its late season snow dumps, giving it great spring skiing with lots of bluebird days. Its ski season lasts until the end of May!
You can ski with us Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday. We'll meet each day for lunch and apres ski beverages at the resort, then check out Bend's cosmopolitan restaurant scene for dinner.
