Where my Eugene heads at?

leprechaunsissySecond season living in Eugene, torn between a season pass to Meadows or Willamette Pass. Any advice?

Why the strange dilemma? I don't live in Eugene anymore but if I still did Meadows would probably be the last place I would get my pass. Bachelor is closer and way more fun plus lots more people from Eugene go there so there are regular buses and ride shares are possible. Hoodoo or the Pass are a toss up depending on the year but the Pass is closer and could be better depending on the snow.

I guess my understanding is that Meadows is where it's at in Oregon. I figured people around here choose Bachelor simply for convenience.

Not true. Bachelor is way better. People travel from all over to ski Bachelor. Meadows is really fun but really nothing compared to Bachelor. Meadows is also closer to Portland so it gets more crowded on good days. Also Meadows has a history of closing early when there is still good snow up high. I love Meadows and I live closest to Mt. Hood but I have a Fusion pass because of those reasons. If I lived closer to Bachelor I wouldn't even consider anything else because Bachelor is so awesome.

Have you been up to the summit of Bachelor on a nice day?

Like oregondead said, Bachelor is basically the best thing in Oregon, definitely get on that. And don't even consider a pass to Willamette Pass, I don't think they've opened for 2 seasons now.

UM - they were open last season.
