There are only a handful of days in the winter when the conditions are good enough for the summit chair at Mt. Bachelor to open. The extreme atmospheric conditions lead to a wild amount of ice and rime that forms on the chairlift, and the mountain. The weather has to be clear, as its all above treeline, and its a big job to for patrol to do the control work necessary to be able to ski 360 off the top of the mountain. This season we have seen a few of these days and I was stoked to link up with Andrew Orlich, a close friend, a guy who grew up skiing this place, and who absolutely rips.

    The best parts of these videos is how relatable they are. The days cruising your favorite laps at your local hill with the crew are the best.

    SO technically solid. Fun to watch.
  • @surfmarko
    'bout time you did one in the hometown! That was a hot lap on summit! Thanks for your content as always!
  • @fsquared64
    Not the “sickest” nor “gnarliest” but Bach has some of the most fun variations of terrain anywhere. Nice to see Summit chair open. Fun to ride along as always!

    I had one of my favorite days ever on Bachelor. Snow was a bit mushy and visibility low but we skied tree laps for miles, never the same line. I dream of getting back there on a bluebird day like this. Thx for sharing.

    Summit powder days are indeed special. Wind does such interesting things to the snow on that mountain.

    Once again, thank you for blessing us with this! So sick! Will you remind me where you mount your Backland's from true center?

    Very nice video, but a little too short for me, I like it when it lasts 10 minutes. Plus it looks like there are lots of possibilities for making pretty jumps.

    Love the vid as always Sage! Loved the absolute nuking from Andrew, must have been a great time to follow! I've always wondered, what made you move to Bend?
  • @Kevinbaconator_
    awesome video. went out to bach for my first west coast ski 2/24-2/26. First day was a blue bird day so we did the summit twice, not nearly as confident as this though. Love it!
  • @thatmarcusallen
    The Bach videos are always my favorite...but clearly I'm biased
