RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR: Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo are celebrating the New Year in style, even with little snow

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- If you're thinking about ringing in the New Year at Mt. Bachelor, below is a look at the resort's snow stake camera from 6:30 a.m. today.

As you can see, there's not much snow at the resort, but that's not stopping skiers and snowboarders from enjoying the start of the long-awaited season.

You can kick the evening festivities off with a candlelit ski or snowshoe adventure over at Nordic from 5 to 8 p.m. Plus, the Nordic Café will be serving up food and beverages and Nordic staff will tend to an on-snow bonfire. You can learn more at mtbachelor.com on the events page.

And, Hoodoo Ski Area says it will open for it's annual New Year celebration tonight, but then close again until more snow arrives.

Hoodoo says it will only have the Easy Rider lift spinning on New Year's Eve due to a lack of snow.

The lodge will stay open until Midnight with live music and a fireworks show. Click here to learn more.
