Mt Bachelor is a day resort with base lodges but no slopeside hotels, so it is not ski in, ski out. Visitors stay in Bend and drive up to the mountain each day.
Mt Bachelor suits skiers and riders who want a big, varied mountain with reliable snow and few crowds, from beginners on the lower slopes to experts chasing the open cone. The cone shaped summit gives terrain in every direction, so you can follow the sun and the wind around the volcano all day, and the long season stretches the skiing far beyond most resorts. There is no base village, so you reach the lifts in about 30 minutes by car from Bend, where you find the hotels, restaurants, and breweries.
