Information on Mt. Bachelor:
A towering 9,065-foot solo giant that has achieved an almost mythic reputation among purists for the transcendent quality of its snow -- a light, dry, high-desert powder unlike any other in this part of the world. Three hundred pristine inches a year dust 70 runs well-distributed across 360 degrees of this extinct volcano. Shred? After a day of slalom and giant slalom, half-pipe and free riding, many snowboarders proclaim Mt. Bachelor their favorite haunt. If you'd like to try a board, there are complete packages including lessons and equipment rental. Go ahead -- stick it to the whole mountain. Because Mt.
