I moved to Bend about a year ago, and I have to say Bachelor is one of its best features. I grew up in the Bay Area and the nearest place to ski was Dodge Ridge which was still 3 hours away. I've skied all of the resorts in Tahoe and none of them compare to Mount Bachelor. Short lines and the discounts in Bend for having a lift ticket (even better if you're a season pass holder!) are just some of the benefits of avoiding the more well known places. Plus there are plans to renovate the smaller lodge and make the resort more classy and accessible.
Pros: Extensive parking, Inexpensive, Breathtaking Views
