Ski Mt. Bachelor

Located just 25 minutes from Tetherow Resort, Mt. Bachelor is Oregon’s premier winter destination. Enjoy lift-accessed skiing and snowboarding from late November through May, with 360-degree summit runs and trails for all skill levels. Nordic enthusiasts can explore 35 miles of groomed cross-country trails, while thrill-seekers can tackle freestyle runs, a 400-foot superpipe, and hiking “the cone.” Additional activities like snowshoeing, dog sledding, and interpretive tours make Mt. Bachelor an unforgettable winter experience.
