Mt. Bachelor ski resort usually opens in late November, but had to postpone its opening due to later snowfall.
“Conditions have improved greatly today, but the situation is still fluid there,” said Presley Quon, director of communications and public relations. “We could see more than 30cm by Thursday, which would be great for snowpack.”
The resort urges skiers and cyclists to be careful.
Skiers and riders are asked to stay near open and well-groomed terrain.
