Northwest Ridge and North Wall

 

Mt Bailey, at an elevation of 8,363 feet, catches the full brunt of wet Pacific winter storms as they slam into Southern Oregon.  Being the first major mountain  storms must cross, Mt. Bailey receives an average of 600 inches of snowfall each ski season that rivals the deep, light, powder found in the Rockies and the B.C.  interior.

Skiable terrain covers 6000 acres with heart pounding avalanche chutes, technical timbered steeps, and high elevation open bowels wide enough for a hundred "old school" turns. 

We only operate one snow-cat carrying a maximum of 12 guests guaranteeing our customers untracked runs all day long.  Skiers and board riders average between 15,000 and 18,000 vertical feet each day.  Our longest run is nearly 3 miles and drops 3,000 vertical feet.

Unlike Heli operations that are grounded during storms, our snowcat can access the mountain even during heavy snow events.  With 360 degrees of skiable area our guides always find ample protected runs.

 

 

The Avalanche  Bowl

Usually reserved for the last run of the day,  is a true test of leg strength and endurance. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The eastern flank of Mt. Bailey, sheared off by glaciers 10,000 years ago, plunges from 8,000 feet to 5,500 feet  in a  breath taking decent of 60 + degrees.
