There are only a handful of days in the winter when the conditions are good enough for the summit chair at Mt. Bachelor to open. The extreme atmospheric conditions lead to a wild amount of ice and rime that forms on the chairlift, and the mountain. The weather has to be clear, as its all above treeline, and its a big job to for patrol to do the control work necessary to be able to ski 360 off the top of the mountain. This season we have seen a few of these days and I was stoked to link up with Andrew Orlich, a close friend, a guy who grew up skiing this place, and who absolutely rips.
