About Mt Bachelor

Mt Bachelor is the Pacific Northwest's premier ski resort — a standalone volcanic cone in central Oregon that offers a truly unique skiing experience: 360-degree descents from the 2,764m summit, with runs dropping in every direction through open bowls, gladed forests, and above-treeline chutes. The resort's 101km of skiable terrain is spread across 15 lifts including the Summit Express, which accesses the top of the dormant volcano and delivers panoramic views of the entire Cascade Range, from Mt Hood to Mt Shasta. Bachelor is famous for its dry Pacific Northwest powder — lighter and colder than coastal resorts thanks to the mountain's inland position — and its volcanic terrain creates natural features like lava flows and rock gardens that add character to every run. The resort sits 22 miles west of Bend, Oregon, one of the most liveable small cities in the American West, with a booming food and craft beer scene. For US skiers seeking something genuinely different from the Colorado and Utah mega-resorts, Mt Bachelor delivers an experience shaped by volcanic geology, Cascade powder, and a laid-back Oregon culture that feels refreshingly unpretentious.
