Sometimes people actually move away from Central Oregon. Life happens and sometimes you have to leave the High Desert behind for work, family, a new adventure. We don’t hold grudges, we just hope that you remember the area fondly. Tess Weaver does. Weaver grew up in Bend, but now lives in Aspen (ok, so that place is pretty beautiful too) where she is a freelance writer for several publications, including Freeskier Magazine. In this Teton Gravity Research story, she offers some insights on Mt. Bachelor and Bend from a local’s perspective. (C’mon back, Tess.)
