I can't think of anything I didn't like. I brought my own lunches but noticed my friends had to wait too long for food at the restaurant on the top. I think the lift tickets are too expensive for kids. More

Even though Powder Corp. has cut some corners since buying the ski area a few years ago, it still offers some of the most spectacular spring skiing around. More

Had a great time at Mt. Bachelor. It is very family friendly. They have various prices for your lift ticket depending on how much of the mountain is available to ski. They also have a reduced price for those only wanting to ski one lift. The mountian itself was quite windy but with the proper attire that is no problem.... More

Just got back from a 3 day trip to Mt. Bachelor, Wow, what a great ski resort! Big mountain skiing with lots of varied terrain, big wide cruisers for the novice skiers, an excellent lift layout lets you travel around the mountain quickly. If you are an expert or advanced intermediate ski the "Summit Chair" for big off trail runs,... More

Amazing Powder! Great lift system...epic summit skiing! But no hand dryers...so if it's a rainy or wet day, bring a change of gloves, jacket, pants and googles. More

Wide, beautiful runs. That's really all there is to say, but I will say more. We went with another family for spring break and really, a good time was had by all. The bunny slopes were long enough for the more experienced not to be too bored, and the newbies not to be freaked out. There didn't seem to be... More

We spent three days at Mt. Bachelor and I have to give it a high rating. Bachelor is a volcano, so for those not from the Pacific Northwest, it provides some excitement in itself. The upper region of the mountain is above tree line and looks like a classic cone. While beautiful, the upper region is frequently shut as a... More

This is a huge mountain at 9300 feet and with 3300 skiable acres it's a giant. But not that many people on the east coast know about it. Come now, before we all discover Mt. Bachelor! More

This year the snow has been plentiful and excellent. Lots of high speed lifts and runs for different skill sets. More

Mt Bachelor has runs with terrain that is advanced intermediate (perhaps beginning expert) to beginner. It is not a super great place, however, for beginning skiiers because more experienced skiiers cross through the beginner's area. The ski area has amenities for snow boarding and is snow boarder friendly. More
