Best Ski Resort in Oregon: Mt. Bachelor - Overall Rating Rating 4.50

Mt. Bachelor offers a truly unique skiing experience with its 360-degree terrain when the summit lift is running. Our users rave about the extensive variety of runs across this volcanic masterpiece. A Snomad community member liked the "wicked groomers" with "knuckles and turns sprinkled throughout." Tree skiing is consistently highlighted as exceptional, with Sean, an advanced snowboarder, loving the powder opportunities and "sending it off the backside." While many mention it's on the pricey side, the sheer size helps manage crowds. Weather can impact lift operations, but as Randy notes, "midweek you really own the place." The nearby town of Bend provides accommodation and après options.

#2 Mt. Hood Meadows - Overall Rating Rating 4.23

Mt. Hood Meadows offers fantastic variety for all abilities, with particularly strong terrain for more advanced skiers. The Snomad community highlights the excellent tree runs and off-piste options, especially when Heather Canyon and the gate access areas are open. As one user who's an advanced skier said, it makes for "playful pitches, gullies, side hills" rather than just direct fall line skiing. While weekend crowds can be challenging (get there early!), beginners appreciate the professional ski instructors and family-friendly atmosphere. The recent addition of a new lift should improve efficiency, but some users note that pricey food and occasional lift closures due to weather are drawbacks.
