Beat the Crowds at Oregon’s Ski Resorts

January 13, 2022
The call of the mountains has never been stronger — and many are answering it. Weekends and holidays have always been busy times at ski areas, but recently, many factors have added to bigger crowds, which means more traffic. Resorts have responded with new policies including limiting daytime and evening ticket sales or requiring advanced purchase; requiring reservations for lessons, rentals and sledding; and even encouraging visitors pack their own lunches. When you've got the urge to go, it's best to check resort websites and... More

Hiking Mt. Bachelor’s Summer Trails

August 24, 2021
Sometimes a plan just comes together. That sums up a recent impromptu hike up Mt. Bachelor one sunny Sunday afternoon. Our group consisted of a group of close friends, all longtime Bendites. The idea of hiking up Mt. Bachelor to close out the weekend in late July came though the group chat, and a few hours later, the six of us met up at the West Village base area ready for a chatty hike up the mountain. The great thing about hiking Mt. Bachelor is...

Oregon’s Flourishing Freeride Mountain Biking Scene with Carson Storch

August 12, 2021
Professional mountain biker Carson Storch is a leader in the sport of freeriding. This popular discipline of mountain biking is defined by building and riding big features including jumps and drops on steep trails. The growth in this sport across Oregon is reflected in the newly abundant lift-accessed freeride trails at mountain resorts, an increase in public freeride trails, freeride-oriented youth camps, and top-tier events on local calendars. Storch can be found at the center of almost all these happenings, as one of the most...

Go Skateboarding In Oregon

June 15, 2021
The history of Oregon skateboarding goes deep. Some would say that it started 30 years ago under the Burnside Bridge with a crew of DIY Portland skateboarders. It was on Halloween night of 1990, when a tight-knit group of friends, seeking a sheltered spot to skate, started unloading bags of concrete and building transitions to skate on the bridge columns.   In the process, these skaters spawned a skatepark building boom that continues to this day. The timing was fortuitous as one of the biggest impediments...

Oregon’s Fight for Accessibility for All

February 25, 2021
Off in the distance, Ravi Drugan expertly carves at high speeds down the steep summit of Mt. Bachelor. He throws a huge spray of snow as he stylishly brings his sit-ski to a stop. You can’t miss him when he’s training at Mt. Bachelor, but it might not be the sit-ski that first catches your attention. More likely it’ll be his mastery of skiing. More
