Lotsa terrain, good snow, friendly people. Lift lines were terrible- 20+ min waits. Blame COVID. Rental equipment was great quality and staff was very helpful. I look forward yo our next visit.... More

Such a great mountain. There are lifts all the way around the mountain. Amazing views from the top if it’s clear out . I like the backside best because there is a lot to explore off the groomers. Runs are long and chairs are decent. There is a lodge at the top and bottom. Good location if you’re staying in Sunriver or Bend. Doesn’t seem to get... More

Mount Bachelor is one of those bucket list resorts for any powder hound out there. The days are deep and the runs are long leaving much to discover on this mountain that gives you a summit lift and 360° of run choice from the top. The side country here is pretty dope too!!... More

There is a lot of ground to cover at Bachelor but it can get so busy that it will be tracked out within 2-3 hours after a fresh dump. Snowfall hasn't been optimal the past few years but they do a good job of making the most of it.... More

Second time there and it is a blast! We like it so much, there are so many trails for all levels, never gets boring! It can get crowded especially in the lodges, but so much worth it! Best places to stay and dine are Sunriver and Bend... More

I have been an avid rider for the past 15 years, I have been to most mountains around oregon and Washington and still come back to bachelor every single year, not only because of the killer terrain but for the community feels that I get everytime I commute to the bend area. Such an amazing and magical place and will forever be embedded in my heart!... More

Mt bachelor is the best. Super fun low angle terrain for everyone. The backside and west bowls are top notch and hold powder days after a storm. Ever launched off a windlip? Ever done it 87 times in one run? Real classic fun.... More

I've been to this resort once and actually had a hard time skiing because there was a storm. When I could go out and shred through some of the snow, some of the areas were wonderful and a blast to fly through, and others had a bit too much snow where I got bogged down. Still a wonderful establishment, and I recommend it to anyone that's doing to be... More

This resort has a wide variety of terrain with a perfect layout of the lifts. The greatest thing about it is that it is very big spreading out the crowd. I also personally love the tree skiing proffered there. ... More
