Not everyone appreciates a ski trip in spring, but those who visit central Oregon in the shoulder season might find a newfound fondness for the region.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we take a quick trip to Bend, with a stop for some spring skiing at Mt. Bachelor and a night in Sunriver.

From the snowy slopes of the popular mountain to the brewpubs and bike trails around Bend, there’s a lot to do an enjoy on a trip to the region. Here’s how to make the most of an overnighter in the area.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • How are the conditions on Mt. Bachelor in the spring?
  • Exploring the streets and sites of Bend.
  • What is there to do in Sunriver? A lot, as it turns out.
  • There’s far more to do around the area.
