But wait there’s more!
The all new Oregon Cup Freeride Series is on the way. Mt Bachelor is blowing up our Freeride events series for 2008/2009.

That’s not all! We’re bringing two open spring bashes in April and May! Cheers to our likely sponsors (free shout outs people) Skjersaas, Powder House, Side Effect, Pepsi and Helly Hansen.

Dudes, it’s September, this is subject to change – but it’s going to be dope regardless.
Two other things you will do right now if you are man (or woman) enough.
- Get to Skjersaa’s Ski Shop in Bend on Saturday at 5 pm for the premiers of Reasons by Poor Boyz Productions and Hunting Yeti. Find AK yours truly the marketing guy and Hames the park master for updates on all the fun.
- Check out the ridiculously low rates on season passes at Mt Bachelor WHEN YOU ACT by Sept 30. $249 for teen and $349 for 19-23. Whoa! mtbachelor.com
You know you are going to stay tuned, so I won’t say it.
