- 30 spaces
In the heart of Central Oregon you’ll find Mt. Bachelor, a spectacular extinct volcano rising out of the Deschutes National Forest and surrounded by 2 million acres of forested wilderness providing for scenic beauty rarely visible elsewhere. Crowds are minimal here, and the mountain is large. With over 4,300 acres of lift-accessible terrain, Mt. Bachelor is the 6th largest ski resort in North America! Skiers and boarders can go 360 degrees off the summit and find a wide variety of terrain including tree skiing at its best. Located on the eastern flanks of Oregon’s Central Cascades, Mt. Bachelor is known for its light, dry snow, diverse terrain, family-friendliness, and long seasons. The combination of the serene Deschutes National Forest and inviting Central Oregon hospitality with the unique experience of skiing powder for nearly the entire season on a dormant volcano has become a destination for skiers and riders from all over the world. If you have yet to visit Mt. Bachelor, now is the time to check it off your bucket list!
Bend, more a city than resort town, is located less than 30 minutes from the slopes. When exploring the town, you will find that Bend is know as "beer city, USA" with 12+ popular breweries around just the down town area. Don’t worry wine lovers, you are in central Oregon, home to several boutique wineries. Plus staying downtown gives you the convenience to the many nearby boutique shops and restaurants for any budget within easy walking distance.
