The recent comments by David Rosell, chairman of the Bend Chamber of Commerce, regarding the skiing at Mt. Bachelor are extremely short-sighted. In 20 years’ time the Bend Chamber will be considering installing a monorail up to Mt. Bachelor to facilitate all the winter visitors to Central Oregon.

According to a former employee, Powdr Corp’s own weather studies on global warming show that in 20 years the ski season in Park City will be a maximum of six weeks and the projections for Mt. Bachelor are a maximum of 14 weeks. Chew on that one for a while before you start complaining again.
