Mt. Bachelor has set opening day for Saturday, December 2nd. Several feet of snow in the forecast over the next couple of days and into Sunday morning, along with strong winds, ice, and limited visibility, according to their website.
“Our goal is to open Little Pine and Sunrise lifts but we may have delays due to the storm in progress. Conditions will be challenging, but we live for this and will do everything in our power to get the lifts spinning. If you’re planning to come up and celebrate opening day with us, be sure to gear up appropriately, drive cautiously, and keep checking the conditions report on our website or app for operational updates. This opening day won’t be for the faint of heart. We hope to see you up here.”
Teams will be working around the clock to get the lifts spinning. To allow prep work to take place, they will be closing the resort to all uphill traffic tomorrow, Thursday, November 30th at 12:01am.
“It is going to be all hands on deck, and we need your cooperation to ensure our teams can focus on opening the mountain. The uphill closure will remain in effect until opening day, at which point our new uphill policy will go into place.”
