Why David Keyte enjoys snowshoeing around Bend
David’s winter episode includes a personal reason to get outside: he remembers taking up snowshoeing after moving to Bend and describes an early nighttime outing.
“I first got into snowshoeing when I moved to Bend in 2018.”
It is a different perspective from focusing only on a ski day. Choose an outing suited to your experience and check current weather, roads, permits and trail information. His memory explains the appeal; it is not route guidance or a recommendation to copy the more adventurous moments in the video.

Winter Adventures at Mount Bachelor & Beyond
Welcome to Mount Bachelor Ski Resort, the largest in the Pacific Northwest and just 25 minutes from Bend, Oregon. With 360-degree mountain access, over 100 runs, and no on-site development, it’s a true escape into unspoiled wilderness. Whether you’re carving down groomers or tackling back bowls, there’s terrain for every skill level—and views that never quit.
Before hitting the slopes, we always stop by Powder House in Bend. This all-in-one shop has everything from top-tier gear to snow park passes and snowshoe rentals, so you’re fully prepped for the mountain or snow parks like Wanoga.
Speaking of Wanoga, it’s a local favorite for sledding and snowshoeing. The sled hill is steep and thrilling, while the snowshoe trails offer peaceful winter escapes. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or calm, Wanoga delivers.
Snowmobilers, don’t miss the Cascade Lakes Highway. In winter, it becomes a snow-covered route with access to fast-paced trails and scenic views—an epic ride through Central Oregon’s winter wonderland.
Mount Bachelor and its surrounding parks offer the best of winter: epic terrain, scenic beauty, and adventure at every turn. Grab your gear, embrace the thrill, and we’ll see you on the mountain!
