THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

This summer, the owner of Mt. Bachelor ski resort, POWDR Corp., announced plans to sell. Bend locals Chris Porter and Dan Cochrane are leading an effort to keep resort ownership local. They’ve incorporated as Mt. Bachelor Community Inc. and hope to attract both small and large-scale investors that share their values. Porter and Cochrane join us to discuss their plans.
