Towering over the high desert of central Oregon, Mt. Bachelor offers a truly unique skiing experience on a dormant stratovolcano. As the sixth-largest ski resort in North America, it boasts a massive 4,323 skiable acres and a staggering vertical drop of 3,365 feet. Part of the Ikon Pass, Mt. Bachelor is famous for its 360-degree skiing from the summit, light and dry snow, and an incredibly long season that often stretches into late May, making it a premier destination in the Pacific Northwest.
With 101 runs and 12 lifts—including 8 high-speed quads—Mt. Bachelor caters to every type of skier and rider. Beginners can find comfortable learning terrain near the West Village and Sunrise base areas, while intermediates can cruise endless groomers off the Pine Marten and Cloudchaser lifts. For experts, the mountain’s crown jewel is the Summit Chair, offering access to high-alpine bowls, steep chutes, and the unique experience of dropping into the volcano’s crater. Additionally, the resort is renowned for its natural wind lips and expansive Woodward Mountain Parks.
