Add another resort to the "ski resorts that have already seen their first snowfall " list—it's snowing at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon!

The popular ski resort near Bend took to Instagram on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, to share a quick video of the season's first flakes falling. The caption was simple, and reveled in the excitement of the changing of the seasons: "Guys, it's happening… Video courtesy of Pro Patrol," wrote Mt. Bachelor.

This storm is expected to be more than just a few flakes. OpenSnow, a popular forecast amongst skiers, is calling for up to five inches of snow at Mt. Bachelor through Friday, September 4, 2026.

A quick look at Mt. Bachelor's webcams, however, shows that the storm's freezing line is a bit fickle. Snow can be seen on Bachelor's Outback, Top of Pine Marten, and Pine Marten Lodge webcams, but thick drops of rain are accumulating on the resort's lower-mountain webcams.

According to OpenSnow, the snow line will be as low as 6,400 ft. on Friday and as high as 8,700 ft. on Sunday. Mt. Bachelor's ski terrain lies between 5,700 ft. and 9,065 ft.

Take a look at screenshots of the snowfall from Mt. Bachelor's webcams below. It looks a little wet and wild up there, but any form of frozen accumulation in September is a sight for sore eyes. Well, for skiers, anyway.

Despite the brief burst of winter, the weather at Mt. Bachelor is expected to return to seasonal temperatures next week. The resort plans to keep its downhill, lift-served bike park running until October 4, 2026.

Mt. Bachelor has not announced an intended opening day for winter operations yet, but it typically opens in late November or early December, depending on snow conditions.
