Today at Mt. Bachelor
Saturday, May 18, 2013 |
Time of Report: 1:30 PM |
The 2012-2013 season has been a memorable one, and what better way to celebrate than with a good old fashioned BBQ! Join us Sunday, May 19th for a pass holder appreciation BBQ at the bottom of Skyliner Lift. Featuring food and drink specials, it’s the perfect complement to your award winning tailgate setup for the Great Skyliner Tailgate Competition. Enjoy and thanks for a great season!
More than 2,000 acres of terrain served by the Pine Marten, Skyliner and Summit lifts will remain open daily (weather permitting) through Sunday, May 26! Although there is still more than enough snow to enjoy the mountain, you may notice signs of summer popping up. Small plants and trees, rocks, and the occasional dirt patch tend to find their way through the snowpack on and off the runs this time of year... please use caution, look for marked and unmarked obstacles and obey all signage.
Less than two weeks left in the 2012-2013 season, but still so much to do! Numerous Springtacular Events are on the calendar, including the US Bank Pole-Pedal-Paddle and The Feeders event on Saturday, May 18... and the Great Skyliner Tailgate and Snow Golf Tournament on Sunday, May 19. Also, space is filling up quickly in the Shred Camp with Laurenne Ross, a two-day weekend camp on May 18-19.
Please be aware that Century Drive will be closed to eastbound (downhill) vehicle traffic at the Sunriver road junction from approximately 9:00 a.m. Saturday into the early afternoon. There will be a detour through Sunriver. This is to accommodate the cycling portion of the US Bank Pole-Pedal-Paddle. The road up to Mt. Bachelor will remain open at all times. Please also note that the Cascade Lakes Highway will be closed to through traffic from Friday evening through midday Saturday. No vehicles - in either direction - will be allowed to cross the closed gate immediately west of the Mt. Bachelor turn-off to West Village.
Finally, a reminder from our folks in the Season Pass office - don't forget to bring your Pass to the mountain! Each year, "I forgot" becomes more and more common in the spring as people switch to lighter jackets. Our Season Pass office is not heavily staffed this time of year, so if you forget your Pass, you may find yourself in a line inside when you could be making turns outside!
