Mt. Bachelor

Mt. Bachelor is a mountain located in Deschutes County, Oregon, about 20 miles east of Bend on Century Drive. Opened in 1958 by Bill Healy with a rope tow and a single lift, Mt. Bachelor has since grown to be one of the largest ski resorts in the U.S. The ski area boasts a wide variety of terrain. Guests can ski or ride 360 degrees off the summit, hike the adjoining cinder cone for a thrilling run down, or, ski the trees to find that great cache of powder! Mt. Bachelor’s season is one of the longest in the Northwest, usually starting in November by Thanksgiving and lasting well into May. Surrounded by the tall hemlocks and pines of the Deschutes National Forest and breathtaking views of the Three Sisters and other Cascade peaks, you are sure to enjoy that mountain experience you seek at Mt. Bachelor! Elevation: Base: 6,300 ft Summit: 9,065 ft Trails: Acres: 3,6383 acres Vertical: 3,365 ft Trails: 88 Average maximum base depth: 150-200" Average annual snowfall: 462"
