An average annual snow base of 150 to 200 inches and an average annual snowfall of 462 inches fall on the 4,318 skiable acres and 101 runs, breaking out as follows: 15% green, 35% intermediate, 30% black diamond/advance and 20% double-black diamond/expert. The base elevation is 5,700 feet. All these are serviced by 11 chairlifts.</p>
<p>Mt. Bachelor has terrain suitable for all ability types, ranging from long-groomed cruisers to expert chutes and steeps. The ski area is one of the largest resorts in the Northwest and offers abundant terrain options. The resort is becoming famous for its freestyle terrain and has made significant improvements to the five terrain parks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mount Bachelor is technically a strato-volcano atop a shield volcano situated along the Cascade Volcanic Arc. The volcano last erupted approximately 10,000 years ago. Mount Bachelor gets its name for being isolated from the Three Sisters, a group of three volcanic mountains that are northwest of Mount Bachelor.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If wind is predicted, try to get up on the mountain early. Mount Bachelor is known to be very windy, and the resort will shut down the chairlift during extremely high winds.</p>
<p>Mount Bachelor is a destination for freestyle skiers and snowboarders. Boarders should try out the 400-foot super pipe, which has been used as a USSA Olympic Qualifier. Beginners should head to Sunshine Park to build up their skills.</p>
<p>The mountain also has a lot to offer for Nordic skiers since it has the longest groomed Nordic season in North America. During the summer, mountain bikers can enjoy the downhill bike park.</p>
