Omegaraptor Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Mt Bachelor has delayed opening to December 3 due to lack of snowfall. If we get to December 3 and there’s still no sign of a good mountain snow pattern in the believable range then I think it’s time to start worrying. But for now let’s just wait and see.
