Mt. Bachelor Opening Day

by John and Sandy Kohlmoos on December 1, 2012

Thanksgiving at Mt. Bachelor

Hard to imagine a better opening day than Mt. Bachelor’s on Thanksgiving!

Best Opening Day Ever

Even at my advanced age, the anticipation (“Dad, you get all weird on a powder day” my kids used to say) was almost too much, and  I had to cool it on the drive from the Broken Top community up the hill.

 Bluebird Bachelor

Bluebird, almost two feet of new snow, cold temperatures . . . in short, mid-winter conditions in November! Mt. Bachelor even opened the lifts at 8:45 AM . . . a stroke of customer service genius, and an added bonus for hungry powder hounds.

Tofurkey

It’s not unusual for regulars to leave town at 8:15, be on the first chair at 9:00, rip it up for a couple of hours and still be back in  town for work or a tofurkey Thanksgiving dinner.
