Mount Bachelor Ski Vacation
Most skiers who come to enjoy Mount Bachelor's superlative 365 inches of snow have no idea that they are skiing down the side of a very active volcano! Geologists swear that Mount Bachelor is not going to go the way of its northern neighbor Mount St. Helens' so there is no need to be distracted from the fantastic challenges the slopes provide to skiers of all age groups.
Mount Bachelor offers amazing expert runs such as The Outback and The Cirque. But if you're in the mood for some artificial challenges, you can go test your mettle at the massive superpipe built to Olympic specifications, 400 feet long with 17-foot walls, and then go on to attempt to master the Mount Bachelor Slopestyle Arena. Mount Bachelor's Air Chamber Terrain Park is well over a mile long and stretches out over 20 acres full of table tops, jumps, spines, hips, and signature rails. It even features its own quarterpipes. Mount Bachelor has kept the kids and beginners in mind by including the site where even the youngest skiier can have a fabulous time, the Sunshine Accelerator Park. This easy-going Terrain Park is packed with lots of beginner and child-sized features and even its very own mini-halfpipe. If you can ever pull yourself away from Mount Bachelor's multiple exciting and challenging ski Terrain Parks, you will definitely want to take the kids up to the eight-lane Snowblast Tubing Park! All of this is like a wintersports overload! The excellent ski school offers courses for kids starting at age 4 and going all the way up to three day packages for adults.
Unlike many ski resort dining options which are pricing themselves out of the reach of families, the Mount Bachelor area offers a wide range of delicious and affordable restaurants: Jake's Diner is famous for its 24 hour huge and low-priced breakfast; The Original Pancake House will serve you up a memorable stack; McGrath's Fish has many local seafood specialties; and The Skiers Palate and Scapolo's are both slopeside favorites.
The Oregon Trail of Dreams Training Camp is a place that neither you nor your children will ever forget. This is one of the rare opportunities in the Lower 48 to mush dogs that are champions in every possible way, as they are currently in training for the ultimate dog race in the world, the unbelievably tough and challenging Iditarod race in Alaska. After taking the dogs for a swift mush through the snow, you can head out to Sunriver or the Inn of the Seventh Mountain for snowmobiling, ice skating, sleigh rides and horseback riding, contact. Not all of the most exciting adventures in the Mount Bachelor area need to be outside, as you can drive about four miles south of Bend to the world-renowned High Desert Museum and take an educational and entertaining walk-through of the museum's dioramas of the Old West, gaze on a spectacular collection of wildlife art and view some very rare and precious Pre-Columbian Native American artifacts.
