Snowing @ Mt. Bachelor w/ no end in sight

The pow at Bachelor is dry and consistent. Every morning is a new day of fresh tracks. Our friends from Tahoe are coming to visit and give thanks for the great conditions. They called Monday begging to visit (Jonseing for snow). What are friends for. Can't wait show you the local secret runs Dave!!!

I still have not unloaded my car since returning from LCC. Bend Oregon is only 400 miles from here. I am getting the itch for another road trip! Is the snow looking that good?

It is that good. The absence of lift lines is the best part. It opened last weekend with the front side only. Tomorrow is the first day for the back side. That means 15" of freshie for the early birds. The link is for conditions...check out the rest for yourself.

Dude I have warned you about early season on Outback and Northwest ... how many times? Coverage was a surprise today .... BUT ... there is not enough to really get into Outback. Close maybe. My rule of thumb is 48" (and that's a true 48, not a Bachy 48) minimum. Don't be coming to me with your core shots.;)

Hey where's the best site for Bachelor forecasts? The weather link on their site is pretty weak. Kinda weird how the NOAA forecast for the cascades is a foot or more but the bachelor forecast page only predicts a few inches the next couple days.

This years weather forcast on the bachelor website switched from NOAA to some foecast in Redmond I think. The above link is the best on mountain forcast I've seen. The snow was pretty dry today. Outback was great down the gut...trees still a little scetchy (stumps and fells not fully covered). Hope this helps.

Report from Super8 Bend OR

Susanville to likely CA. White out Vertigo Blizzard
Klamath Falls to Mt. Bachelor 140 miles, 5 hours of white knuckle driving on a sheet of ice. I roll into the Resort parking lot at 5:30 AM. 6 “ of untracked in the lot and its snowing hard.

I park in a vast unplowed parking lot near a Motor home farm and right next to guest services. I pull out the sleeping bag crashing in the passenger seat.

I awoke to a tap on the window, an employee politely telling me that I need to move when I wake cuz I’m in the bus unload zone.

There are cars and people everywhere, its 8AM and I see people riding up the chair (So much for first tracks)

After getting to the lift line I get jammed up getting through the Toll Gate??

I have never been to a place that scans lift tickets like you were getting on the subway (It was ok, just new)

First run I spot a group with fat ski's I follow. They lead me into some decent tree skiing ending with a traverse onto (The Knob) Nice first run in semi tracked boot top pow.

I did run into one dude who lurks here, but never called out for change.

All in all a nice day, I was wiped and ended my day in the Bar around 11:45.

It was snowing all day and is snowing right now in Bend. Friday could be another good day!

I am glad I made the trip.

sorry i missed ya, MTT

I am Home.

After a very good day of Sking a light Boot deep pow, I left Mt. Bachelor @4PM

I was home at 11:15. Thats with a stop for a beer in Likely CA. A much better drive home than getting here.

I never really saw much of the resort due to continuous Storm conditions while there. I would guess I only skied about 1/4 of the mountain.
Its a nice place and Bend is a nice town. I now now know how to navigate the traffic circles in bend to get to Mt. Bachelor (Big deal) so i will have to visit again some day.

Bumping cause me and a bud are thinking about rallying up to bachelor this weekend and we need some help.

We've never been near there so we're totally winging it. If anyone can help as far as where a good place to stay is please lemme know. Are there any good places on the outskirts of bend on the way to the mountain?

So, what can we expect for conditions?? I see they're getting a few inches today which certainly can't hurt. Oh and how are the weekend crowds...is it nuts?

Should we just drive to Utah instead :p

I assume you are in California? Go to Utah, it sucks in the PNW! Haven't you heard?

Seriously though, I hear the warm up is on the way. May not be optimal conditions this weekend. Plenty of base though. If you go, I'd consider staying at a hotel in Bend. You'll have better night life, and it's only a 30 minute drive to the mountain. You can get closer to the mountain at the Inn at the Seventh Mountain, Sunriver, and Bachelor Village, but your secluded there.

Enjoy!
