Mt Bachelor Sunset Hike

Abbie and I hiked mt. bachelor in the evening hoping for a good sunset. With the chairlift still turning due to sunset dinners at the upper lodge it allowed us to hit the summit and ride the chair down from pine Martin instead of hiking in the dark with headlamps for hours.

Hunter's 14th Birthday Ski Day

This weekend, as an early celebration of his 14th birthday with his friends, we did a ski day up at Mt Bachelor.  The snow conditions this spring are amazing.  The coverage of snow is incredible considering its almost May.    Kelly packed us an amazing lunch that we ate in the parking lot for lunch.  After skiing we stopped in town for pizza.    If you are trying to pick out Hunter and Noah - Noah has the bright green pants and the blue jacket on skis.  Hunter is in all black with a grey helmet on a snowboard.


Mt Bachelor Scenic Chairlift with Pat and Sue

Last year when my dad came to visit at the end of July we took a ride up the scenic chairlift to mid mountain on Mt Bachelor.  It was a lot of fun so we decided to do the same with Pat and Sue on their visit this week.  It was interesting to see the snow differences year to year.  We went about 3 weeks earlier this year, but their is already less snow than when we went up last year. 

The weather and snow conditions made for some great glissading with the kids.
