A reader board in the Mt. Bachelor parking lot welcomes skiers and snowboarders on opening day Monday.

After several delays due to low snow, snowfall over the weekend allowed a limited portion of Mt. Bachelor ski area to open to skiers and snowboarders Monday.

Until the ski area gets more snow coverage, only terrain around the Little Pine chairlift and Woodward hike park off Red Chair are open. The hike park will host a variety of rails and boxes for skiers and snowboarders to use, but users will hike instead of using a lift.

Because the mountain will have heavy machinery all over making snow to help shore up the base, the only uphill travel that will be allowed is the route to hike up to Cinder Cone.
