Rattlesnake opened top-to-bottom this week and is riding great. Trail crew has been hard at work on Redline and Last Chance, with both progressing well. More terrain will continue to open as conditions allow, so stay tuned for updates.

Policy Update: Mt. Bachelor now allows Class-1 pedal-assist e-mountain bikes on its downhill Bike Park trails off Little Pine and Pine Marten chairlifts. This decision aims to make the mountain more accessible to a broader range of riders. Mt. Bachelor continues to welcome the use of adaptive e-bikes. Click here for a full list of permitted equipment at Mt. Bachelor during summer.
