it look so easy and so elegant. I couldn't believe they were
still throwing their best tricks. Amazing. I'm
coming again this year and might even have
some short skis along to try something new.
It was a blast to ski with them last year. We
even did some zip-lining through bumps!"

This year, Mt. Bachelor and NWSCC are
extending an invitation for all National Ski
Club members to attend the second annual
Springtacular BLAST. Lodging will be offered
at the Four-Diamond Sunriver Resort. The
Springtacular BLAST will be held Thursday
through Sunday, April 25-28. Participants will
be able to ski/ride in the morning and play
their next-favorite sport in the afternoon.

Sign up by contacting your favorite tour
operator or call Mt. Bachelor at 541-693-0957.
New this year, three days prior to the
Springtacular BLAST, April 22-24, Mt. Bachelor
will offer a FAM trip for qualified candidates.
Participation is limited, so call Mt. Bachelor
ASAP to get on the invite list.

Last year’s theme holds true: “practice your
backscratcher and pack your one-piece.” The
freestyle legends look forward to throwing down
the old school moves again and teaching you
some of them. There will be a best retro outfit
contest, an on-mountain BBQ, professional
photos, and a live-music, footloose-style
Springtacular BLAST Saturday night party.

NWSCC member Stevie Viaene said, “The
2012 Bachelor Blast actually was a blast.
We not only had the perfect weather to ski
the entire mountain, including that awesome
backside, but we also got to actually ski and
hang out with the ‘legends’ - those famous
guys from back in the day, and you know, they
still have it going on! It was so much fun to roll
out the old neon ski wear and get crazy. Oh,
and did I forget to mention the after-party?”

Mark your calendars, keep your ski and
boards waxed, pack up your golf clubs,
