Tough viz? Wave thy magic wand
Thursday 4/16:
Powder Alert!
7:00am Update: Wow, 11" at the snowstake this morning puts us at a whopping 2 feet received in the last 48 hours! It's looking like a true mid-winter storm up here, with continued heavy snowfall and deep fresh powder. Current temps are in the teens and should reach a high around freezing today. Once again, storm gear will be the name of the game today - low-light lenses, ski-gees, and a balaclava will all help you to embrace the stormy conditions. Bring your powder buddies and your best stoke, we'll see you soon.
RendezVan kicks off today! Parking in the West Village lot will be limited. Please take advantage of the free CET shuttle or carpool if possible. Click here to view a full shuttle schedule. To optimize space, trailers will not be allowed in any parking lots Today - Sunday, except for those with RendezVan camping reservations. Camping spots are sold out, but we hope you join us for the day!
The interlodge shuttle is running on a continuous loop through all base areas.
Ski area boundaries are Upper Carnival > Lower I-5 on the east and Outback Way > Upper Ed's Garden > Leeway on the west.
Be Advised: The snow surface is variable. Keep your speed in check and stay in control. Give other skiers and riders adequate space. Coverage remains thin across the mountain. Please stick to open runs, expect marked and unmarked obstacles, and exercise caution.
Snow immersion suffocation (SIS) and tree well risk exist today. Ski or ride with a partner and keep them in sight at all times. Stick to open, groomed trails to minimize SIS hazards. Educate yourself on deep snow safety here.
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.
Mt. Bachelor is closing for the 25/26 winter season on Sunday, April 19. From all of us, thank you for coming out and making the most of this season. We will have the ultimate closing weekend party with RendezVan happening April 16-19. See you there!
