Mt. Bachelor, the youngest of the Cascade volcanoes, has a history that spans more than 10,000 years, and its modern legacy is one of transformation and adventure. Starting with just two rope tows, the mountain has grown into a world-class destination, now offering over 101 ski runs. Each run tells a story of its own. For instance, “Ed’s Garden” was named after a U.S. Forest Service landscape architect who, in 1976, insisted that tree stumps remain on the run for visual effect. “Cliff’s Run” honors Cliff Blann, a longtime mountain manager whose vision shaped many of the slopes we enjoy today.
Other trails, like “Cow’s Face,” are more whimsical in origin. Some say it’s named for its steepness, while others believe it somehow resembles the face of a cow. Meanwhile, “Avalanche Run” earned its name from an actual avalanche that cleared the path many years ago. And if you’ve ever skied during the holidays, you may have noticed “Dilly-Dally-Alley” temporarily transforming into “Candy Cane Lane,” with festive decorations bringing cheer to the slopes.
