Got a question for the downhill skiers
We are considering Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort in Redmond Oregon this year at Christmas, but I have heard it is not a good family friendly mountain- too difficult for us "once a year" skiers. Can someone give me some honesty about the difficulty of the mountain and the things for a family to do in the area around Redmond, Oregon.

Redmond seems a bit far from Mt. Bachelor - it is probably over an hour drive to the mountain. Not a big deal but there are other places that are nice and closer.
I used to ski at Mt. Bachelor then got scared of it (wasn't good enough, wearing the right stuff - teenage stuff) and haven't been back. It is fairly expensive and I prefer Hoodoo (closer and cheaper for me since I am also a once-a-year skier). However Mt. Bachelor is a very nice mountain and I think has runs for every skill level. They even have a tubing hill/lift.
Is there a reason you are staying in Redmond? You didn't ask but other places you may enjoy are Inn of the Seventh Mountain and Sunriver. Personally I love Sunriver (very much looking forward to our annual sojourn in 3 weeks!).
I don't know what there is to do in Redmond, but there is the High Desert Museum outside Bend (between Sunriver and Bend) a very nice museum.
