BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Coming off of a historic ski season, hundreds packed Mt. Bachelor on Monday for its last day of the 6-month season, after a weekend filled with celebrations.
Mt. Bachelor kicked off the 2024/2025 season with its earliest opening day in nearly three decades, and was able to continue operations until almost the end of May—bringing in crowds from far and wide.
One rider KTVZ spoke to talked about coming up for the last day of turns: “The sun is out, and this is the second time that we’ve been here on the last day. we camped last night, and we’re getting to ride on the last day with the kids,” Logan, who was snowboarding with his daughter Sierra, said with a smile.
It was all smiles Monday as the resort held a ‘Last Chairs and Last Cheers’ party.
Mt. Bachelor’s communications manager, Presley Quon, expressed gratitude for the phenomenal season in a written statement to KTVZ News:
“We had a remarkable season, thanks to the energy and dedication of our guests and employees,” said Presley Quon. “Snow in November helped us open earlier than planned and set the stage for six full months of skiing and riding. We’re already counting down the days until next winter, but in the meantime, we can’t wait to welcome guests back to the mountain for summer activities.”
May 31st marks the last day to secure your 2025/2026 season pass for a discounted rate.
