TICKETS FOR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS:

The partner lodging properties have a "Stay FREE Ski FREE" package which is a great value for parents (3 days for the price of 2, 4 for 3, etc.), and their non-racing children 18 and younger will receive the Kids Ski FREE ticket (1 free ticket per paying adult).  Otherwise, $49 per day for an adult 3 or more day ticket at the window - the Kids Ski FREE ticket is also available there.  Also check out the Mt. Bachelor website, www.mtbachelor.com, for other ticket details.

ACCESS TO RACE VENUES:

When the SG is on Cliffhanger, the bottom of the course is easy walking distance (slight uphill) to the finish arena where you can view the lower part of the course.  For the GS and SL courses on Thunderbird it is a bit longer walk to the finish arena but doable (with good soled shoes, boots or snow shoes) and provides a good view of the lower 1/3 of the course.
