Mt. Bachelor will officially close for the 2025/26 winter season on Sunday, April 19, coinciding with RendezVan, the ultimate celebration of spring skiing and riding, live music, and van-life culture. Closing weekend will deliver a high-energy sendoff to the season, jam-packed with games, activities, giveaways, food carts, and extended hours on Pine Marten lift.
“This season was challenging, but I want to acknowledge the incredible efforts of our employees and give a huge thank you to our community for coming out and staying positive,” said John Merriman, Mt. Bachelor President and General Manager. “Despite a historic low-snow year, we had some incredible moments, from those rare but sweet powder turns to carving fresh groomers and launching new events. Every time I hop on the chairlift, I am reminded that a day on the mountain is better than almost anything else.”
The RendezVan festival is free to attend and will open at 12:00 p.m. on April 16, with an unforgettable celebration, nonstop entertainment including live performances, a skate park, silent disco, line dancing, bike relays, dog races, yoga, axe-throwing, and more. The weekend will be a true showcase of community and Central Oregon’s mountain lifestyle.
This year’s music lineup features a wide spectrum, from acoustic-rooted folk and bluegrass to indie pop, funk jams, and electronic mashups.
