Mt. Bachelor

Mt. Bachelor is a former volcanic cone in the Cascade Mountains that rises up above the surrounding pine forest. It's located near the town of Bend, which is a popular retirement destination and also has a lot of golf courses - so if you like skiing and golf, it's always a good choice. There are only the standard facilities at Bachelor's base, but a good variety of lodging and restaurants are to be found in Bend and nearby towns where off slope facilities include concerts, theatre and the chance to try dog sledding.

Mount Bachelor has a remarkable record of receiving enough natural snowfall to continue the ski season up to July. It's been growing since the 1950s and is now one of the biggest ski resorts in the USA. Trails are up to two miles long and primarily suit intermediate recreational skiers, although there's plenty for beginners and experts too. In the latter category the chutes and 400 acres of ungroomed powder accessed by the Northwest Express Quad are particularly welcoming. The powder is good stuff too - very light.
