Mt. Bachelor season passes went on sale September 1. It is hard to believe that ski season is so close. I am not a skier but I have a lot of clients that are. This year I am spending some time getting myself into better physical shape than I have been in the past. Who knows maybe next year I will take a lesson or two.
Mt. Bachelor has a new General Manager this year and has already posted prices for the season. There are several types of lessons for the skier or the snowboarder alike.
Sunriver offers a couple of great choices for equipment rental and purchases. Be sure to check out the Village Bike & Ski Shop or 4 Seasons both shops have very knowledgeable folks working them and are very pleasant to work with.
Getting to Mt Bachelor from Sunriver this year should be better than the last several years as the road has had a complete upgrade. If you are staying at with Sunriver Resort there is shuttle service available to the mountain.

If you are an avid skier you will find that Joanne Hanson of Summit County Colorado’s post about skiing in Colorado interesting here is a little about what she had to say about their upcoming ski season.
“It is time to buy season passes to Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin. It is also a time when we anxiously await the equipment reviews in Ski magazine, the ski swap announcements, the Labor Day tent sales and Sports Authority’s Sniagrab sale. We watch the weather forecast closely, hoping that it will get cold enough to snow, and every morning we check the peaks for traces of white stuff.”
And the season is coming quickly now, Thesa! The leaves are turning very quickly and we could have some resorts open in about a month. This is great information for people who want a Mt Bachelor season pass. They give some good discounts! One day, after you learn to ski, we will have to hit the slopes.
Thesa,
We are still having days in the 80s here – hard to even imagine skiing. I am always amazed at the beautiful pictures you have of Mt. Bachelor.
