November 11, 2024: Early Opening Announced
In an exciting update, Mt. Bachelor is kicking off the 2024/25 season two weeks ahead of schedule. Passholders no longer need to wait until November 29. The mountain will open for a preview weekend November 15-17 – marking the earliest opening since 1998. Thanks to over 40 inches of early season snowfall, passholders can get their first turns on Skyliner and Little Pine lifts, while Nordic Passholders can hit the cross-country trails.
The mountain will then take a brief break before reopening to the public November 22-24, with special $50 lift tickets.
“We’re thrilled to open earlier than expected, and to give our passholders a weekend to celebrate together,” said Mt. Bachelor President & General Manager John Merriman.
Remember to check the resort’s maintenance closure schedule (November 12-14, 18-21, and 25-28) and grab your Free Uphill Pass before heading up. Daily operations will begin as originally planned on November 29. The mountains are calling – and they’re ready earlier than expected! Head over to Mt. Bachelor for all the info.
