Mount Bachelor Beginner Skiing
About 15 percent of trails are for beginners. The best area for beginners is on the east side of the mountain, where the bulk of the easier cruising trails can be found.However, green trails can be found at every chair except New Summit Express, Outback Express and Northwest Express. The greens are all well marked on trail maps, along with a special yellow area indicating the easiest descent. A good itinerary for a beginner is to ride the Sunrise Express quad and follow Marshmallow down the mountain, then take the Rainbow triple chair and the West Village Getback trail down to West Village Day Lodge. Then ride the Pine Marten Express quad to Pine Marten Lodge, and take the Skyliner route back down the mountain to the bottom of the quad. Then you should go up the lift again and this time take Leeway back down to West Village Day Lodge for a well-earned rest.
