From Mt Bachelor this morning:
Our big news is we will stand pat on full season pass prices for the third consecutive year. That’s right, your 2010/11 full pass will cost the same as it did back in 2008/09. Oh, we also intend to keep skiing and riding through Memorial Day weekend, too, as long as Mother Nature and our guests decide to play along! Two more snow-riding weeks at one of the best springtime mountains in North America is our gift to you.
Patience is a virtue:
We’re completing a host of resort improvements this summer as well. Over $2.2 million worth to be exact. Topping the list, we’ve added two new grooming machines, including a second winch-cat for grooming the steepest terrain. Mt. Bachelor’s fleet of groomers is now one of, if not the newest fleet in the West. A new, 200 foot long covered conveyor lift for beginners will be installed in the West Village base area, with the existing 70 foot conveyor relocated to the Sunrise learning area. Significant investment in lift maintenance continues this summer with major projects on Summit, Northwest and Skyliner Express lifts in addition to our routine preventative maintenance projects on all the lifts. The alpine and Nordic ski rental fleets have been extensively upgraded. New music and public address sound systems have been installed in Pine Marten and Sunrise lodges. The half pipe has been widened. Sunrise Lodge and Junior Race Center are both receiving face lifts including a new color scheme to match West Village. And finally, projects with positive environmental impacts are progressing, including conversion of the Sunrise Lodge heating system from oil to propane and addition of a new airlock on the Ski & Sports building.
