  It never ceases to amaze me how many people use ski resort reviews as a platform to publicize, perhaps inadvertently, that they are a bit pretentious.

  As for Mt Bachelor, I love it. I am a season pass holder. Some people say the snow is too thick, and some of this is true. But if your intention is to enjoy yourself and the company of friends, and not compare every single turn to a that powder day in France where you skied with the two supermodels, you will have fun. They have skiing for all abilities, the staff is friendly and engaging, and there is always new territory to explore. If you need 70ft. vertical drops, charter your private jet to Jackson Hole. Otherwise, Mt Bachelor is a great place to ski!

  Sounds like a bunch of locals are writing about Mt Bachelor, who want the mountain to themselves. No friends on a powder day!

  I moved to Bend 6 years ago in part to enjoy the skiing - which I do. I skied many places as well - same issues elsewhere. Overall, Mt Bachelor is one of the best ski areas in the world - yes, I said world. If you don't like the blue ice then ski in the deep, soft, powder that the wind produces on the edges and in the trees. If you don't like it - don't go, there's thousands of us that appreciate what an amzing place Mt Bachelor is. This weekend I met people from many different states - all would laugh at the negative comments amongst the reviews.

  I live in Bend and am primarily a back-country skier. However, occasionaly I'm forced to ski Bachelor (Mt Bachelor), usually when out-of-town visitors come without gear for touring. So I know, for a fact, that Mount Bachelor is only a marginal ski hill. It gets so strafed by winds that the surface is often wind effected, sometimes blown right down to blue ice. The terrain is low angle, somewhat varied, but low angle. And it's bloody expensive for what you get. I must admit, I have had some damn good powder days up there, and some good spring skiing. Still though, pretty mediocre hill.

  The wind might knock you off the chair some days. Try not falling into a lava vent tub, other then that it's a great MT.

  Mt. Bachelor has its moments. Some of the best skiing around on a good day. Lots of great terrain for all abilities. Not much in the way of really steep terrain, but its an enjoyable mountain to ski.

  The problem it has right now is that the management totally stinks. They don't know how to run a lift line to save their lives. I can't tell you how many times I've been there on a somewhat busy day and its dog eat dog with people all over your skis/boards with lifts half full going up and their lifties just laughing and having a grand old time. WHy are they even there? It's embarassing. The mountain management has managed to piss off the locals so much that they slashed prices on the season passes and jacked up the single day passes to $70 during the holidays(totally NOT worth it especially when their lift line management breaks down).

  It has the potential to be a fantastic mountain, it's just not there yet!

  I grew up at Bachelor and while the snow can be heavy and the mountain is somewhat flatter than I would prefer it is still an amazing place to hit the slopes and have a great time. Parks are usually well groomed and have decent variety and the diversity of runs will blow you away. Bend, Oregon is also an amazing town but visit soon before if gets ruined by Californians!!!!

  The high speed lifts (I didn't find any which weren't) kicked the cack out of my legs. By the end of the day I was just hoping they wouldn't turn into spaghetti. Superb.

  Visited Mt Batchelor in Jan 2005, a compact resort with a variety of skiing for all levels. Snow was not brilliant at the time as the weather was a bit warm, but the skiing was still excellent. Anyone visiting Oregon with time on their hands should check it out... you won't be disappointed.
