It’s interesting to note that over the past 4 seasons, the price nationwide for a weekend ski pass has, on average, risen 13.5% to an average of $75.92. Mt. Bachelor charges $73.00 for just one premium ski day, and $126 for a two day pass, so saving on your tickets is a welcome plus. It’s no secret that you will tend to pay the highest price for your Mt Bachelor lift tickets if you purchase them at the ticket window.
My first suggestion for savings on Mt Bachelor lift tickets if you live in the Portland/Salem/Eugene area is to check your local Costco. Costco offers deals on various skiing location around the country. You would think that our local Coscto, here in Bend, would be the best place to check, however it is pretty rare to find discounted Mt Bachelor tickets at the Bend Costco. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to call them ahead of time to see if by chance they have them. Their local number is (541) 383-2299. Surprisingly, the Costco stores on the other side of the Cascade Mountain Range will be your best bet for picking up the discounted Mt Bachelor tickets, so by all means call your local Costco and find out if they have them.
My second suggestion is to use the Liftopia or LiftTickets websites which often sell multi-day passes at a 15% discount. This can really save you money when you are planning on skiing/snowboarding multiple days.
If you’re looking for discounted Sunriver accomodations plus discount skiing, you may want to check out Ski.com for Sunriver vacation and skiing packages. Their site tends to be a little confusing, so be sure and look carefully at the options you are choosing.
Active duty military personnel receive a 50% discount on an Adult daily lift ticket price excluding Saturdays and holidays. Keep in mind this discount only applies to the individual military member and not their families.
Another feature that can give you savings is the Mt Bachelor Kids Ski Free program. Children who are 18 years and younger can ski free the same number of days as their parents/grandparents when their parents/grandparents purchase a 3-day or more adult lift ticket. Tickets must be purchased a minimum of 4 days in advance online through Mt Bachelor’s , eStore. They can also be purchased through a Mt. Bachelor lodging partner package. (check with your lodging reservations desk to see if they are a Mt Bachelor partner and can offer you the discount tickets)
Finally, OnTheSnow gives an assortments of different discounts that pop in and out of the Mt Bachelor ski scene throughout the year. They include single and multi-day passes, vacation packages, and other time sensitive specials that provide savings and discounts on Mt Bachelor skiing and snowboarding.
