Annual Season Pass Sale Underway; Best Price Now Through September 30
Mt. Bachelor, Oregon’s largest ski area and a POWDR business, is about to turn 60 and annual season passes are now on sale. To commemorate the six-decade milestone, Mt. Bachelor, the resort with the best spring conditions in the West, will celebrate the mountain’s past and its meaning to Central Oregonians throughout the 2018-19 winter season.
“Bill Healy had a dream and a vision for Mt. Bachelor when he and a group of skiing enthusiasts from Central Oregon founded the ski area in 1958,” says John McLeod, Mt. Bachelor’s president and general manager. “Since then, Mt. Bachelor has grown to become the sixth largest ski area in the United States and has delivered memorable experiences for millions of guests, which is something we’re going to celebrate all season long.”
Lift-served skiing first began at what was then called Bachelor Butte in October, 1958. The official grand opening of the ski area took place on December 19, a date that Mt. Bachelor plans to honor this year with a 60 year birthday party.
“This season will be a great party at the mountain with historical photos, videos and stories to share about our cherished history and the personalities who shaped it,” McLeod added.

Too bad their celebration doesn’t include discounted prices, free days, or other cool stuff for the LOCALS who made Mt Bachelor what it is.
