First time at Bachelor and day 1 was a Bluebird day with EVERYTHING open, day 2 was a pow day! Bachelor is an awesome mountain.

I love this place!!! Been there 4 different week long trips over the last few years. When it's fully open its amazing. Doesn't scare the life out of you but is a playground Mecca! Also, when you add Bend into the mix it is over the top!!!!

Can you review Hoodoo Ski Area in Oregon? It is probably one of the most underrated gems in the PNW, especially when you include the unmapped backside terrain, hidden cliffs, and forested terrain of all density and steepness. Most people discount it for its medium size and proximity to Mt. Bachelor, but it is worth so much more than that.

Shhhh no it only rains at hoodoo! Unless it's a down year for revenue. In which case, it snows until they make enough money, then it only rains and you should certainly leave.

I live in Washington and always look forward to skiing in early to mid May after our local hill closes. I’ve had except for one year good to great conditions. It is unbelievable to have such good skiing in May. I’ve have never been there when the Summit Chair is down. I guess I’ve just been lucky. I always stay in Bend, but it is a favorite for a couple of my friends with RVs to stay at the base. Bend is a great town and plenty of things for my non-skier wife to do while I am on the mountain.

@@PeakRankings I’ve been there several times when Cow Face has been magnificent. It’s off the top of the Summit Chair. Nice amount of pitch but not scary steep and you have a vast amount of area to ski your way down the mountain all above the treeline. When the snow conditions are right I can ski that all day.

Above tree line lifts in the Oregon Cascades close in the winter because of snow load and hurricane force winds. Lift towers routinely get pushed over. Ski patrollers also have to climb each tower and hammers off hundreds or thousands of pounds of snow and ice. The back side is closed due to avalanche risk. PNW mountains get lots of variable snow layers in the pack. Wet snow, light snow, rain, high temps, below zero with windchill.

I've been up there with high wind. It's awful. This channel guy sounds like he is going to cry about the summit often not being open, but there are tons of hard runs below the summit chair. The normal mid level chairs are great.

They gotta be careful I guess?: “In 2015, Philip Emerson, while skiing at Mt. Bachelor in Oregon, suffered multiple injuries on a feature known as the “bomb drop” and sued the resort for gross negligence. Based on the resorts knowledge that three prior injuries on the bomb drop occurred in the six weeks previous to Emerson’s injury, the Court of Appeals of Oregon found a reasonable jury could find Mt. Bachelor was indifferent to the probable consequences of its actions, e.g. further injured skiers, and reversed the lower’s courts entry of judgment in favor of the resort. The Court of Appeals also found the waiver on the ticket to be unconscionable and unenforceable.”
