Since we're eying a mid-March ski week, Mount Bachelor has moved to the top of the list (we haven't been before). Our troupe is looking like two old skiing salts (myself and my usual ski-buddy cousin) and one never-ever (college buddy who can't pass on a week's leave from the "boss") -- we'll be 3 fifty-somethings on a no-wives, no-kids ski week.
I take it we shouldn't expect much variance in conditions early March to late March, scheduling-wise?
Main question is regarding my never-ever buddy. He's envisioning taking lessons in the morning, and giving his legs a break and knocking off in the afternoons. How is the base village(s?) at Bachelor? Is there more than one (varying themed?) bars spread out in the base areas? Or in the event he knocks off early, will he want to head to Bend (or if we stay in Seventh Mountain area, or Sunriver area, back there?) until the lifts close and the other two are ready for extraction?
Makes me think of another question (I'm sure I could get some hints if I poke around MB's website but...) -- how is the school at Mount Bachelor? Any cool clinics for never-evers?
