Mt. Bachelor is a true gem with 250-300 inches of snow and very few lift lines. Californians and Coloradoans are constantly amazed at being able to ride without a wait at the lifts. Skiiers will rejoice at the paucity of boarders at the Northwest and Outback chairs (they congregate on the east side of the mountain). Not alot of fanfare, you won't see any celebrities, the lodge food is marginal, but just great snow.
Pros: awesome snow, min. lift lines, views of the Cascades
Cons: , lodge food sucks, Season pass is spendy
