CHOOSE YOUR OWN MT. BACHELOR ADVENTURE
OPTION 1: Take the Family to New Heights (a.k.a. “Grandma’s Gondola Adventure”)
Hop on the Scenic Chairlift Ride and soar like eagles (slow, polite eagles) from 6,300 feet to 7,800 feet.
Views? Impeccable.
Snacks? Scapolo’s has your back.
Bonus: You’ll end up at the Pine Marten Lodge—perfect for lunch meet-up!
Buy lift tickets ahead of time and print at any PUB (Pick-Up Box, not the British kind).
OPTION 2: Hike Like You Mean It (or Just a Little Bit)
Lace up those hiking boots—this isn’t a stroll through Target.
Hike from base to summit (9,065 feet) if you're feeling heroic OR
Take the chairlift up and hike from mid-mountain (smart cookie alert 
).
Newbie-friendly alert: The Evergreen Trail (easy, 4.5 miles, gorgeous)
Bring water, layers, sunscreen, sunglasses, and your sense of adventure. And maybe a llama. (Just kidding, please don’t bring a llama.)
OPTION 3: Ziptour Adventure – Not for the Faint of Heart (or People Afraid of Heights, Speed, or Awesome)
Get ready to zip, zoom, and possibly scream a little with joy.
This 3-stage, dual-line zip tour is the steepest, fastest in the NW.
Starts at the top of Pine Marten, ends back at the base—with 1,400 vertical feet of whoaaaa.
Go side-by-side with a buddy!
Ends with the “Broken Top Drop” aka “Mom’s New Favorite Story.”
Ages 10+, 50–260 lbs, must be able to use the harness and brakes.
Closed-toe shoes only! (Cousin Kyle, this means no Crocs.)
OPTION 4: Mountain Biking Mayhem (Yes, Dave Watt, We Mean You)
For thrill-seekers on two wheels:
13 miles of downhill trails—from gentle bunny hops to full-send Redline madness.
Families: Check out Little Pine for a chill intro ride. Tickets required. Rentals available (bike, pads, full-face helmet = safe & stylish).
No E-Bikes allowed—this is real leg power, baby.
Waivers required for all under 18. Parents, sign those digital forms early!
REUNION RALLY POINT
Meet at NOON at the Pine Marten Lodge (elevation 7,800 ft).
Even if you’re not riding lifts or zipping lines, it’s worth the view and the grub.
We’ll gather, snack, hydrate, and take a legendary group selfie with a volcano backdrop.
