Bachelor"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Congratulations! All your snow dancing worked, and <\/span>Mt. Bachelor<\/span><\/a> is now in full swing for the 2022-2023 ski season.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you hop in the car and drive to Bend for all the skiing, snowboarding, and snow play your wintry heart can handle, you need a plan. A plan that doesn\u2019t start with \u201cI\u2019ll figure it out when I get there,\u201d since <\/span>Bend hotel rooms<\/span><\/a> get tough to find when we all catch the ski bug at once.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your next winter adventure at Mt. Bachelor, you\u2019ll want to start things off in Bend. Here are seven reasons why.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

A hop, skip, and a jump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just 22 miles. That\u2019s what separates Bend from Mt. Bachelor, but you know what\u2019s wild? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bend\u2019s annual precipitation is about 12 inches\u2014and half of that\u2019s snow\u2014Mt. Bachelor gets a whopping 462 inches of white stuff. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, a car ride of less than 30 minutes transports you from a town with gobs of <\/span>hiking<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>biking<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>museums<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>restaurants<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>parks<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>breweries<\/span><\/a>, and deposits you at the base of a literal winter wonderland. How\u2019s that for the best of both worlds?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less time in line means more time in Bend!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If I could pinpoint the number one piece of praise I hear for Mt. Bachelor, it\u2019s that lift lines are short or non-existent. Even in busy holiday weeks, you won\u2019t spend hours shivering in the cold while you watch fellow skiers board the chairlift miles ahead of you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mt. Bachelor magically straddles the best of both worlds. It\u2019s North America\u2019s sixth largest ski resort with more than 4,300 acres of lift-accessible terrain, but it still has that family-friendly, small-town vibe folks have known and loved for decades. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with more than 100 runs and a chairlift taking you to the summit at 9,000 feet, there\u2019s plenty of room for skiers and snowboarders to spread out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what you can do when you\u2019re not wasting half your day waiting in lift lines? Lemme tell you\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Experience the magic of a Wanderlust moonlight snowshoe tour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three sports in one day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The short drive from Bend to Mt. Bachelor isn\u2019t just about proximity and the chance to save on gas (though while we\u2019re on the subject, I urge you to be an eco-conscious traveler and carpool or <\/span>ride the Mt. Bachelor shuttle<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that bit of elevation gain between Bend and Bachelor is what makes Bend legendary as one of the nation\u2019s few three-sports-in-a-day towns.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend your morning shredding slopes at Mt. Bachelor, then head downhill for a winter hike, followed by a mountain bike ride in the desert east of town.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go wild in one of Bachelor\u2019s <\/span>Woodward Mountain<\/span><\/a> progressive terrain parks for the first few hours of the day, then take a twirl on the ice at the <\/span>Pavillion<\/span><\/a> before you set out for a moonlight snowshoe adventure with <\/span>Wanderlust Tours<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about snowshoeing at Mt. Bachelor, then sledding at <\/span>Wanoga<\/span><\/a>, then a hike up <\/span>Pilot Butte<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or what about a morning of cross country skiing from the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center, a fat bike outing with <\/span>CogWild<\/span><\/a> in the afternoon, and then a sunset round of disc golf?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heck, if you\u2019re really brave, do a little snowboarding for the first half of your day, then hit the <\/span>Bend Whitewater Park<\/span><\/a> (brr!) to surf some waves. Cap off your day with a visit to a local <\/span>skatepark<\/span><\/a> for the ultimate three-sport adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Unparalleled views from the slopes at Mt. Bachelor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Would you look at that view!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not implying other ski areas are ugly. Plenty are set in scenic locales with frosty peaks and pristine forests that may or may not be filled with singing woodland creatures.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Mt. Bachelor\u2019s scenery takes things to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the mountain\u2019s majestic slopes, you\u2019ll see icy lakes and more trees than you can count in a lifetime. You\u2019ll scan an endless parade of volcanic peaks marching the horizon dressed in sparkly winter gowns. Throw in a bluebird sky and you\u2019ve got a freakin\u2019 postcard view from a thousand different spots at Mt. Bachelor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look out from the chairlift on a clear day and you don\u2019t feel your heart skitter at the sheer splendor of your surroundings, you may want to check your pulse.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few spots on earth rival Mt. Bachelor\u2019s raw, graceful gorgeousness, and you have it all at your fingertips for the price of a lift ticket and a <\/span>Bend hotel room<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Speaking of prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You know what\u2019s great about Mt. Bachelor? Though I know we grumble how prices go up most years and lift tickets ain\u2019t cheap, the fact is that skiing at Bachy costs a whole lot less than you\u2019ll pay at most big resorts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but they love to stroke the stoke with bargains. Take their <\/span>Ski or Ride in Five<\/span><\/a> package, which sets up beginners with five rentals, five lessons, and five lift tickets for one low price.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve also got their Kids Ski Free Program where kiddos 12 and under ski or ride for zero pennies with their parents who purchase advance online tickets. Scope out their <\/span>deals and discounts<\/span><\/a> page for details on that and other bargain options.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that, there\u2019s <\/span>a plethora of passes<\/span><\/a> to fit all kinds of budgets and skiers. From season passes to unrestricted midweek and multi-day passes to the Ikon Pass that lets you hit nearly 50 ski destinations worldwide, Bachelor bends over backwards to offer lots of entry points that take it easy on your wallet. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which leaves more change in your pocket for one of my favorite things about Bend\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run, do not walk to the nacho mountain line. | Photo courtesy of Mt. Bachelor + Austin White<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Foodies, take note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Feeling hungry for more than fresh pow?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longtime Mt. Bachelor fans might remember Nacho Mountain, which got rebranded a few years ago as Mountain Nachos. It\u2019s a to-die-for blend of melted cheddar jack cheese topped with ranchero black beans, pico de gallo, avocado aioli, lime crema, fresh jalapenos, and chicken if you choose to add it. Wash that down with a local craft beer or one of their creative cocktails and you\u2019ve got the perfect apres ski setup. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re off the mountain, Bend\u2019s culinary bounty spawls like the world\u2019s most scenic smorgasbord. Choose from award-winning fine dining with river views or pub cuisine along the <\/span>Bend Ale Trail<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit a newish restaurant like <\/span>Yoli<\/span><\/a> for scrumptious Korean fare, or head for <\/span>Pine Tavern<\/span><\/a> to rediscover why the restaurant with two pine trees shooting through the roof has been booming since 1936 (Hint: mouthwatering sourdough scones with honey butter might have something to do with it).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From <\/span>vegan and vegetarian fare<\/span><\/a>, to gluten-free offerings, Bend has tons to offer even the most discerning palate. Go healthy with a grain bowl or a salad from <\/span>Active Culture<\/span><\/a> (I\u2019m obsessed with the quinoa lentil bowl!) or grab a juicy burger and hot wings from <\/span>Hardy\u2019s<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If steak\u2019s more your scene, <\/span>Bos Taurus<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Rancher Butcher Chef<\/span><\/a> offer world-class cuts of meat with sides that\u2019ll make your eyes roll back in your head, or opt for a more budget-friendly (but still scrumptious) newcomer, <\/span>Black Steer Steakhouse and Saloon<\/span><\/a>. Full disclosure: I haven\u2019t been there yet, as their soft opening happened just a week ago, but the word around Bend\u2019s culinary campfire is that it\u2019s an awesome dining experience at a price much kinder to your wallet. Bonus: We desperately needed more great dining on Bend\u2019s northeast side, so I\u2019m thrilled with this one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom line: Bend\u2019s apr\u00e9s and culinary scenes are worth traveling here for even if you didn\u2019t have an epic winter playground up the hill to help you work off those extra calories.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to be safe though, bring pants with an extra-stretchy waistband.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Know before you go: some trails require fido to stay on a leash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Doggos. Enough said.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bend\u2019s famous as one of the nation\u2019s dog-friendliest towns. We\u2019ve got more <\/span>off-leash dog parks<\/span><\/a> than Rover can shake a stick at, plus a plethora of breweries along the <\/span>Bend Ale Trail<\/span><\/a> that welcome your pup on heated patios. There\u2019s even a dog park at Mt. Bachelor so that your pup can partake in the snowy fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy snowshoeing with your pup? <\/span>This post<\/span><\/a> rounds up some of our awesome winter trails, including ones where Rover\u2019s allowed to roam with you. From dog-friendly events to pet stores selling locally made goods, you\u2019ll find links <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> for all the top doggo spots in Bend. Just remember that if you do head up the Cascade Lakes Highway with your dog, they\u2019re not allowed at sno-parks north of the highway to reduce user conflict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in case you didn\u2019t get your doggo fix down in Bend, head uphill to Mt. Bachelor for the ride of your life. Oregon Trail of Dreams offers <\/span>sled dog rides<\/span><\/a> with their teams of trained puppers. If you\u2019ve never experienced the joy and excitement of a dozen excited sled dogs yipping and lunging to run, you owe it to yourself to swing by and watch as they prepare to hit the trail. I promise it\u2019ll stoke joy in your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give \u2018em an ear scritch from me, okay?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now get busy and <\/span>start planning your trip to Bend and Mt. Bachelor<\/span><\/a> today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
