‘Thin’ snow coverage prompts Mt. Bachelor lift closures
Triton Notary
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)– Warm, sunny weather continues across Central Oregon, with highs in the upper 40s and light winds. The mild stretch is melting snow at Mt. Bachelor, forcing Outback and Northwest lifts to close starting today while crews work to repair thin coverage areas. These lifts are expected to reopen Friday, Jan. 23, if conditions allow.
Skiers and riders are urged to stay on open, named runs and watch for firm, thin conditions and hidden obstacles. Resort officials ask guests to follow all closures and signage while crews are on the slopes.
