Mt. Bachelor outlines late-season plans
Mt. Bachelor, a POWDR company, announced Tuesday its plans for Sunchaser Spring, a uniquely Bend outdoor adventure spring celebration, which runs through Memorial Day weekend and will offer all-day adventure from morning turns and afternoon trails to evening fun.
With more options than ever to explore the outdoors of Central Oregon, Mt. Bachelor is the perfect basecamp to chase the sun and revel in the freedom of a quintessential Bend adventure. Sunchaser Spring passes–including options designed for locals and out of town guests–are on sale now, with the lowest prices available for a limited time only.
“Mt. Bachelor has one of the longest ski seasons in the world and as everyone here knows, springtime provides some of the best conditions all year,” says John McLeod, Mt. Bachelor’s president and general manager. “We are doubling down on those longer days and the most lift-accessed terrain anywhere in the USA during our Sunchaser Spring season.”
New this spring, Mt. Bachelor will keep its Sunrise base area open three weeks longer than in previous years. Sunrise Lodge and parking will remain open through Easter Sunday, April 21, allowing guests to start their day in a family-friendly location where the lifts and terrain are ideal for novice and low-intermediate riders.
Mt. Bachelor’s primary base area, West Village, will remain open daily through the resort’s planned closing date of Sunday, May 26, providing lift access to more than 2,000 acres in May.
In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Mt. Bachelor has long been known for its robust spring event line-up, and Mt. Bachelor’s immersive culture will be put on display during the Sunchaser Spring’s events. The spring fun includes:
10 Barrel Hella Big Air Competition and Party: Showcasing some of the industry’s top competitors battling it out in one must-see event (March 30). Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge: Hosted by surf legend and Mt. Bachelor ambassador Gerry Lopez, the Big Wave Challenge brings together snowboarding and surfing in a truly one-of-a kind competition (April 12-14). Finale Weekend Festival and Pond Skimming: Ski, board, bike, skim the pond, and drink local brews. Close out the season in a way that is uniquely Bend (May 25-26).
“Sunchaser Spring showcases and celebrates everything that makes Mt. Bachelor a bucket list late season destination,” says Drew Jackson, director of marketing and communications for Mt. Bachelor. “Sunchaser Spring’s exciting events provide the perfect complement to Mt. Bachelor and Bend’s phenomenal daytime adventure offerings.”
