Snow Reporter's Update

Wednesday 2/25:

10:10am Update: Skyliner is now open.

7:00am Update: As we await the arrival of an anticipated high-pressure system, remnants of recent storms are very literally clinging to Mt. Bachelor this morning in the form of a dense haze. We received 1" of new snow overnight and there's a chance of morning snow showers that could see up to 1" additional. We're forecast for a high just above freezing and light winds with moderate gusts.

Packing a variety of lenses and gear may be your best bet today, with visibility currently impacted by fog that is expected to give way to partly sunny skies this afternoon. Expect saturated snow conditions while the snowpack drains following yesterday's intermittent rain showers.

Skyliner, Outback, and Northwest will start the day on hold as lift maintenance teams perform de-icing.

Be Advised: The snow surface is fast and firm. Keep your speed in check and stay in control. Give other skiers and riders adequate space. Despite recent snowfall, coverage remains thin across the mountain. Please stick to open/named runs, expect marked and unmarked obstacles, and ski or ride with caution. 

Be prepared for winter driving - AWD/4WD high clearance vehicles and chains or snow tires are recommended. Check ODOT for real-time weather, traffic, and road conditions.

Please Note: 

• Mt. Bachelor's uphill policy is in effect, and a free Uphill Pass & armband are required.
• The CET shuttle runs from the Bend Park & Ride to Mt. Bachelor daily.
• Interlodge shuttles run on a loop, providing free transport between all base areas.
• Sledding is not permitted at Mt. Bachelor.
• There will be racing/race training all day on I-5, and on Cliffhanger, Lower Leeway, and Ed's Garden this afternoon.
