Mount Bachelor

Very difficult conditions during our trip to mt. Bachelor. It’s a ski and snowboard paradise, but you have to have some skills to enjoy this mountain. The lodges are great for a break from the outdoor conditions. Good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. The views are amazing, if it’s a clear day!

Mountain itself is awesome as are the views. There is tons of terrain. The only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars is that the lifts seem like they are constantly under maintenance making lines insane sometimes (see pic). I get notifications all the time. POWDR corp has generally screwed the place up for locals from what I understand.

Really different style of mountain. Technically you can ski the entire mountain, 360 around. However, many times part of the mountain is closed due to wind and visibility conditions. Trails were well groomed, good tracks through wooded areas. We couldn't get to the summit bowl due to wind, but looked like some great trails. Never felt too crowded and lines at lifts were very short. Ultimately we had a great time and would definitely come back if in the area.

Spent the week skiing for Spring Break. First, I took a lesson on Monday with Will (cow Will- there's a lot of Wills'). I hadn't ski'd in 2 years. We worked on specific techniques (side slipping vs cutting and better parallel skiing), but he also catered the lesson toward building confidence in intermediate/blue trails. He challenged me by going to down Roostertail. Will was easy to talk to and get feedback from. I'd highly recommend a lesson. Second, I purchased all the tickets, rentals, and lesson online for my daughter (4 years old) and myself. Once I picked up my card (easy scan), everything was loaded and seamless. Rentals were right at Sunrise Lodge. It was quick and easy to switch out my daughter's skis for shorter ones. We kept our rentals for the whole time we were there. Returns were a breeze. Third, my daughter, who's only been skiing 2 other times, went down Carnival (green). A host, Terry, saw us taking a break and offered to be the "line leader" down the mountain. This was our 3rd day skiing together and we were working on zig-zaging down the trail. She followed Terry like a champ! I'm so thankful that he stoped, took notice that we were needing some encouragement down the linger green trail and led my daughter toward a successful and fun run down a green trail. I accidentally didn't check my daughter in the 2nd day for her free ticket, so the guy at the lift called it in while we did Easy Rider. We picked it back up when we made it back to the lift. So thankful for their accommodation. The staff at the Alpenglow lift always made sure the chair slowed down and my daughter got on safely, all while being friendly. The staff at the top of the Lava Tube carpet gave me some pointers since I kept eating it at the top of the carpet. The staff is amazing! Lastly, the mountain is beautiful and accommodating for all levels. The lifts and staff are accommodating for all. I highly recommend spending time at Mt. Bachelor! I will definitely be going bak in the future.

Such a beautiful mountain to ride! Went snowboarding and the powder was awesome! Lines get a bit long on weekends and prices are a bit high but overall amazing experience!

Mt. Bachelor is actual trash. I’ll never go back. The whole concept is a scam. You plan ahead to rent skis and buy passes for access to the mountain but come hell or high water, if you’re unable to make it, you cannot get your money back. $226 spent on a day that we were unable to get to the mountain due to rental car troubles. Oh? But we could have caught the bus and the mountain was open so we should have been able to get there? We are tourists and had no idea a bus even existed, nor was it safe to drive our rental car due to bald tires. What a waste.

The best skiing and riding in Central Oregon! Lots of terrain, excellent variety of trails, high speed quad lifts, breathtaking views, and great lodges to relax in between runs.

Mt Bachelor is totally awesome! Took the family up for the weekend to explore the mountain biking trails and hiking opportunities at Pine Martin lodge. We rode the lift up to the PMX lodge and hiked around. So beautiful!! Saw the zip lines and decided next year we will try the zip line adventure. Highly recommended destination for anyone.
