    A SERIOUSLY UNDER-RATED Channel. Best ski mtn reviews IMO.
  • 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!!!!

    6:10 - a very relatable moment for those blind drops when traversing Northwest, I laughed out loud

    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.
  • Skied here at least once a year for the Sun Cup downhill race. The review is spot on. Also 69 nice lol.

    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.
  • We pulled up to Bach mid-May and had the best trip of the season 🔥🔥🔥

    As a local the issues with closures don’t necessarily apply cause I’ll just go the next weekend😂😂

    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.

    2023/24 season has been epic. Tons of powder days and they opened summit in early January
