Weather at Mt. Bachelor: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.
What the weather at Mt. Bachelor is usually like
The ski area runs from 1,737 to 2,763 m above sea level - a 1,026 m vertical. In December the daytime average is 1 °C at the base and -6 °C at the summit. Plan for that 7 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. Midwinter days at the base run above freezing, so the lower runs soften by midday and the morning snow lasts longer higher up.
Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March.
The season usually runs from 5 December to 25 April.
By March the base is around 4 °C while the summit still holds -3 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
