What’s Bend like?
Bend is a fabulous place to live. Imagine spring skiing on a snow covered meadow in the morning, followed by lunch at the
Taco Stand or any of our great restaurants or coffee shops. Then it’s off to
Smith Rock State Park for an afternoon of rock climbing. Finish up the day by tipping your cowboy hat at the
Sisters Rodeo or catching a concert at the
Les Schwab Ampitheater (free if you’re sitting in your kayak on the Deschutes River) Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Ween, Alison Krauss, and more are playing this summer. The next day- load up your backpack with local fruits, veggies and baked goods from the
weekly farmers market and head to
Crater Lake or the
Mckenzie River Trail to ride your bike through some of the Northwest’s most unique landscapes, or stay close to town and ride some of the hundreds of miles of maintained single track or drop in to one of our
freeride parks. In the afternoon, drop in to the gym at
Central Oregon Community College or
Juniper Swim and Fitness for a strength session. Chances are you’ll bump into Torin Koos, Lars Flora, Kristina Strandberg, Evelyn Dong or Brayton Osgood, because they live and train here too. Save day three for climbing
South Sister, a 10,358ft mountain 40 minutes from downtown. Don’t worry, the weather will be great, Bend averages 300 days of sunshine a year!

“I loved the group dynamic and the motivation all of the Academy athletes brought to all the workouts. I had a really great time at all of the camps, and especially loved playing soccer on Fridays. I’m really looking forward to this summer!”
Hilary Rich, Middlebury College, 5 JN podiums 2008-2009
“Nothing beats training with a group of skiers who are focused and fully dedicated to achieving high goals. My time in Bend allowed me to develop as an athlete–physically as well as mentally–in a supportive atmosphere. Top rate coaches and lots of individual attention helped me fill gaps in my skiing ability.”
