Mt. Bachelor

Mt. Bachelor is a ski resort in the Cascade Range east of Bend and offers runs across multiple difficulty levels for all experience levels. The terrain spreads across multiple elevations and is served by various lifts that transport skiers to different starting points.

The ski area was founded in the 1950s and grew to become the largest resort in this section of the Cascades. The mountain played an important role in developing winter tourism across central Oregon and remains a core location for snow sports in the region.

The mountain serves as a gathering place for winter sports enthusiasts from across the region, where skiers of all abilities develop their skills together. This draws people who share a passion for snow sports and the outdoor lifestyle that defines this part of Oregon.

The terrain has different elevation zones, so weather conditions can vary across different areas and visitors should prepare accordingly. The mountain is best accessed from Bend and visitors should plan for sufficient daylight hours to explore the various sections comfortably.

The area receives abundant snowfall that supports a remarkably long operating season, allowing visitors to ski for several months. This heavy snow creates stable conditions and enables continuous operations across much of the winter.
