Bill Healy: A Man Who Loved A Mountain

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating Bill Healy, the visionary founder of Mt. Bachelor, whose determination transformed Central Oregon’s skiing community. In honor of what would have been his 100th birthday, MBSEF, in partnership with Mt. Bachelor, is proud to premiere a heartfelt film that captures Bill’s remarkable character, pioneering vision, and enduring legacy.

The evening will feature reflections from family and friends, an engaging discussion with the filmmaker, and an exhibit of early Mt. Bachelor memorabilia curated by the Healy family. This special event also serves as a fundraiser for the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation (MBSEF), which is honored to uphold Bill Healy’s legacy and share his story.

Proceeds from the event will support MBSEF’s mission to inspire young athletes, foster a love of winter sports, and create opportunities for the next generation of snowsport enthusiasts. Together, we can carry forward Bill’s vision of a vibrant and thriving snowsports community.

Following the program, guests are invited to enjoy dessert and reminisce, connecting through stories and celebrating the extraordinary life of a man who left an indelible mark on our community.
