Mt. Bachelor
(http://www.mtbachelor.com) bachelor is central oregon's best ski/snowboard mountain. it was home to the olympic snowboard trials years back as well. when the summit is open depending on weather it is some of the best skiing you will find in oregon. the northwest territory is also great with lots of black diamond runs. it's probably not a bad idea to take some 2-way radios for the other members of your party. the mountain is quite big and keeping track of everyone is sometimes difficult.
