I ski Mt Bachelor because it's a local mountain, less than 30 miles from town and has great variety of slopes, real nice people even the transplants and visitors from all over the world make you feel welcome...Too bad 'bachelorbound' has a bad attitude about visitors and fellow skiers that willingly paid the price to live in this pristine place because an education gave them the choice to live anywhere they wanted including in a nice place like Bend, OR. It would take a lot for me to even think of moving from here and not have Mt Bachelor's steep and deep +++. Come see for yourself and ignore the wieners..
