  The Fusion pass is simply the best deal on Mt. Hood. Meadows is over-priced and this pass gives you two resorts to enjoy. Some may argue that Timberline doesn't have steep enough terrain. While there isn't as much as some resorts, it's there, you just have to know where to look. In the winter, if you have a pass, waiting for the Palmer Snocat is worth it. If you can handle the hour wait, you can lay some fresh tracks up there and it's always an amazing run. Later in the year, the lift to Palmer opens which opens up more steep terrain.

  Where Timberline really sets itself apart is the crowds. On the most crowded days at Timberline, the crowds still aren't awful. The longest I've waited in a Timberline lift line is about 10 min. and that was only once. For anyone keeping track, that seems to be the average lift line wait at Meadows. Additionally, the people who work at Timberline are much more friendly than Meadows. Instead of making you feel like you're wasting their time, the workers at Timberline are often happy to talk to you/hang out while you're getting ready, letting you know how the mountain is that day if they've been out riding. Despite this, they still manage to get their job done (something that never seems to happen at Meadows). The riders at Timberline are also better than those at Meadows. The community of riders at Timberline are friendly and there is enough room to speed past the beginners without stopping to scream at them (another issue I've seen at Meadows). All in all, it's a much friendlier, more relaxed place to ride.

  And if you don't know where the steep stuff if and want to argue it's too flat, the Fusion pass will get you to Ski Bowl where there is a lot of great terrain when the snow is nice. Additionally, Ski Bowl has a similar laid back attitude the Timberline has where the resort is run efficiently and the workers and riders tend to not be douchebags.

  If you're going to Hood and want to have a good time without the douchebag riders/workers and with minimal crowds, hit Timberline or Ski Bowl without question. If you like waiting in long lines and being treated like trash by workers/riders, Meadows is the spot for you.

  With a storm coming in, I headed up to Timberline Nov 29th 2010 and was greeted by some incredibly light, dry powder & it only got better over the next couple of days. Each day I woke to at least 6" of pow, Wednesday was epic (think I remember waking to 14+" of soft awesome powder 'till Thur when the snow became a little wetter/heavier) but was still good skiing. Had the place almost to myself mid week & laid fresh tracks on every run (& the Mile was even open Mon :) ). The staff were awesome the whole time and told them I'd see them next storm. And sure enough, a new Pacific storm was brewing by Wednesday 12-8-10. Thur am woke up to plenty of new snow & it was an awesome day of skiing. But (even though the forecast was to warm up with high snow levels) Fri this never materialized & it was my best snow day in over 7 mnths: 12+ in the am & snowed hard all day; totaled 27" in the 3 days I was there! Not the dry pow we all want but still awesome. I went and made a couple of runs towards closing that Id laid fresh tracks on that am & couldn't even see my tracks (or anyones!). Way cool! Weather man says Tues & Weds this week cools off & snows a bunch :) So...I'm packing my ski bag as we speak, and the wifey & I will be there for this change of weather!
  PS: to the Timberline staff - keep my room available for at least the next couple of days! You guys are awesome!

  Timberline has the longest snowboard season in the United States. This year season passes were good starting the first weekend in October, and are valid until June! They even had an early season park up. There is nowhere else you get to hit a 35' jump and a bunch of fun rails in October! Timberline is known for their amazing parks. They are always perfectly groomed, consistent, have good flow, switched up every now and then, creative, and not too many gapers messing everything up. Parks range from small beginner features, to huge 50+ foot booters. If you ride here consistently you will realize it is actually a big community of riders and easy to meet and make friends with all the regulars. A totally different atmosphere than every other resort I've ever been to in my 10 years riding. To sum it all up... short lift lines, amazing parks, good employees/management, and a nice long season.

  April 25th 2010 at Timberline. Great day, sunny, low wind and warming quickly. Lowest of three lifts unskiable by 11am, upper chair was mush at 1:30. Should have been no problem to finish the day skiing the Palmer chair at the highest elevation except it didn't run today. So much for spring skiing on the highest lift served snowfield in the country.

  One of the best resorts anywhere, quickly becoming my favorite. Skied Mar31 & April fools day and it was awesome ! Fresh new powder, mixed with sunshine makes for such a great day. An awesome mix of terrain and can always find a place to lay down sum new tracks :)
  The folks at Timberline are great, the lifts move people very efficiently, weather here is always a wild card but I felt the staff works hard to keep the most available terrain open, and I commend them all (some people just have to complain constantly about something--they should just stay home)
  Me, I'm gonna continue to enjoy one of the worlds finest ski destinations, every time I get a chance.

  I agree totally with everything another reviewer said in his posting about Timberline. It is so frustrating to pay an enormous amount of money for 2 adults and 2 kids to go skiing and then find that many of the lifts are closed even though the snow is good. I have felt ripped off too many times. Anyway, I hope you guys will pay attention to everything that reviewer says in his comment - the website isn't accurate, never know when a lift will open or close. I don't know why so many are closed on good snow days...it is pure torture to look at the runs and not be able to access them after paying a fortune for tickets. If it's because people don't show up for work, fire them and run the operation more professionally. Plenty of people need work.

  Lindsay from United States
  

  I tried using the port-a-john at the bottom of Molly's a couple weeks ago but it was locked. The lift operator didn't know why and apologized nicely. No problem.

  I tried using the port-a-john at the bottom of Normans last weekend. The lock was off so I took off the gear and started heading over when I heard the operator yelling down "Hey Buddy!, that's for employee's only". I asked if he was kidding and he said no, but I kept on heading down the little snow trail thinking what the heck...if it's unlocked I'll use it anyway. But there was another guy in there, one of the operators, and he was just coming out. As soon as he closed the door he slapped a lock on it. The guy was really nice about it and apologetic. He told me that he could get in trouble if he let me use it.

  Now I don't mind using the woods once in a while. But what if it's an #2 type emergency. I mean, it happens to the best of us...right? So what's the big deal about not allowing folks who pay tons of $$ for seasons passes a way to take care of business when needed? All previous years it hasn't been a problem.

  The guys there said they had to close it due to vandalism. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin it for the rest.

  So...if you're planning to go to Timberline, make sure you don't drink a bunch before hitting the slopes or you'll be either high tailing it back to the lodge or trying to find a place in the trees!

  Skied Oregon for over 40 years and Timberline is still one of my favorites! Used to go to Meadows but the crowds, lift lines and 'tudes got to me. The great thing for the rider/skier @ T-Line is no lift lines. Reason is that they do not have a lot of parking. If you are up before 10am you will get a place and never have to wait.
  I find the staff and the ski hosts, at Timberline, the most friendly and helpful on any mountain I have skied. That all makes a big difference.

  Timberline is a dream come true. I've been snowboarding there since I was 12 years old. I got lessons the first time I went there and was amazed (and still am) at how friendly everybody is. Locals are awesome and there are some great snowboard and ski shops in the Timberline area. There are some flat spots but just keep your board waxed and you're set. I'll be riding Timberline until I die. See you on the slopes.

  First time really riding Timberline. I got a Fusion pass and there's no turning back. The runs are amazing and just fun. I used to ride Meadows. Haven't been there since the year before.

  The 08-09 season was one of the best in the past few years at Timberline. I was there twice a week all season and had nothing but excellent conditions until late April - early May as things began to warm up. Timberline is a great resort and the staff are very helpful. My only real issue with Timberline would have to be the 'hit or miss' I saw with the park this year; one day all would be open and the next there would be very little terrain open even though the conditions had only slightly changed. Though Timberline has a few flat spots the ride is always good and the people (including the lift operators) are always great unlike Meadows (Mt Hood Meadows) and thanks to the affordability of the Fusion Pass I will continue to ride Timberline as long as I can.

  The Kid from United States
  

  Timberline rocked this season 08/09.
  I just got back in to it after about 5 years and used to be a Meadows fan. But now it's all about Timberline.
  Great runs for all riders including some insane leaps of faith in Paintbrush. Those skiers with double tip skies look 12 to 17 years old and are just shredding it off 35feet+ jumps.
  I'll be back year after year. Thanks Timberline.

  Love T line (Timberline). Yes, there are a few flat spots but if you keep your board waxed & keep good speed they are not a big problem. That's not what I see though. I see long runs. Take the magic mile onto Kruser; wow. You never think you will ever hit the end and the crowd that rides T line are 'the bomb'. I agree that some of the other parks have more advanced terrain, but they also have a lot of people who can be obnoxious, insulting, & downright hard to deal with. I take my boarding partner (also my daughter) & I feel comfortable that she will not have any problems with people at T line; haven't so far and we go 2 to 4 days a week. The staff are awesome. With a year round season, we will always own a pass. Keep up the good work T line (Timberline).

  2008-09 has been an incredible season at Timberline. I have been up 20+ times, and I would say 15 of them have been spectacular. Today we had champagne powder up to our knees, and nothing was off limits. There's a lot of amazing terrain, you just gotta go suss it out. Don't believe that Timberline doesn't have challenging runs; they're there, but you gotta figure it out on your own (hint: boundary markers mean nothing...). Lookng forward to some killer Palmer runs in the spring.

• January 20, 2009
  Mark B. from United States
  

  I'm a huge fan of T-line (Timberline). The history, the staff, the view and now the new buffet. With a Fusion Pass in my pocket the cold rainy weather in Portland only makes me smile cause I know my favorite place is getting a fresh load of white.

  If there is good fresh snow on Palmer and the Mile, these huge snowfields above the lodge offer the best off-piste low angle skiing that can be found in a ski park. It's like back-country skiing without the heavy hiking or the high cost.

  My kids love the snow cat. How about running two when the weather is especially perfect?

  I would like to encourage the staff to not get too happy on the quads around the parking area. I know they're fun, I ride them too. But please remember: you might know you're in control but I don't and I'm usually shepherding little kids around with fogged up goggles and short attention spans, so slow down...please.

  Can't wait to see the new portico, the multi-plate culvert works great but couldn't be uglier.

  A gondola across the canyon to Meadows and we would have a world class park.

  I recently bought a Subaru and got a free Fusion ski pass. I hadn't been to Timberline is years (10 or so) and what a nice surprise to see the improvements they made. The snow was awesome, the people great and no lift lines. Unfortunately, this recent string of gorgeous weather means no new snow on the mountain. Looking forward to more snow and a long ski season.

• January 02, 2009
  Gully from United States
  

  I've ridden lots of different mountains between Whistler and Tahoe and T-Line (Timberline) is definitely my favorite. For starters, the parking lot is too small for the resort. So as long as you get there early, you'll never have to deal with the crowds you would at Meadows. I almost always get fresh tracks somewhere.

  The people working at T-Line are always helpful and stoked. The people riding T-Line always seem to be very cool too. I've had very few problems with people's park etiquette - which is usually where I've seen problems arise at other resorts.

  I rode T-Line about 30 times last year and the only time there are issues with crowds is when there is a park competition and people are bussed in. That only clogs up the park but you'll always be able to find open runs elsewhere.

  Palmer and The Mile runs don't open too often but I think that is too be expected with how high they are on the mountain and how bad conditions are up there. Plus it makes it all the more magical when you do get to take a run from up up there.

  Three biggest complaints are 1. Trail at the bottom of Pucci to get to Floodo's is super flat and results in having to avoid Pucci terrain. 2. Hard Coffee drinks are way too expensive. 3. The guys at board check seem to move as slow as the tectonic plates (but it's free so I can't complain too much).

  T-Line is doper than dope. Keep up the great work fellas.

• December 24, 2008
  Jeremy Ojua from United States
  

  T line (Timberline). Terrain is not the best, but the terrain parks are ultra fun; Floodo's has offered up some trees which we needed. But Timberline takes the cake as far as the culture goes. That's why I ride there. People are cool and usually stoked, unlike many experiences I've had at another resort.
  I've witnessed 3 fist fights in one day at 'Meadows', people heckling strangers from the lift and pretty much a generally bad feeling from many of the folks that ride there. So yeah T line... way laid back.

  austin from United States
  

  T-line rocks.. it's a little flat but if you know how to board and you wax every ride you're fine. Last year I went 50 times and every day was pow, pow. T parks are sick and there's a pool outside to cheeoo timberline best and you can board ski bowl at night then sleep in the car and board T line next day.

• November 18, 2008
  Terrence Waggoner from United States
  

  The only complaint I can make is that Palmer and Magic Mile were closed on the last day of summer because of the weather. Too much snow?

  Even with it closed that day, I was able to get in runs in June, July, August, September, October, and November.

  With my last day done two days ago (15 Nov 08), it makes it a 12 month season for me here in Oregon.

  The lift ticket were so inexpensive, I felt like I was putting my hand into someone's pocket at Timberline and pulling out twenty dollar bills.

  Short or non-existent lines and no breakdowns along with happy and helpful lift operators made my day.

• November 17, 2008
  Lindsay from United States
  

  The 07-08 season was awesome! I love Timberline. We must have been up there about 40 days total and can't wait for the new season to start up. The new trails are wonderful.

  My only complaint about the lifts for me had to do with the time they shut down during the week days. With no night time skiing during the week, they close around 3:30 or 4 PM (give or take) which seemed kind of early when it wasn't getting dark until around 6 or 7 PM. As for not having lifts open, I understand about not opening Majic or Palmer for safety reasons.

  There was an event in January where the power on the whole mountain went out. It was night time and I was stuck on the Pucci lift in a blizzard! The wind was really whipping and causing the chair to sway while my son and I hung there waiting. The Timberline folks immediately took action which included lining the entire length of the lift with people and flashlights about every 50 yards. The emergency generator cranked up and we were moving within 10 minutes or so. They decided to close early that night and gave us two complimentary lift tickets and free rentals that are good for 2 years.

  It was clear that the staff was doing the best they could. Lets face it, you're up on a mountain...whatever could go wrong just might. So you have to take the good with the bad. My philosophy is that any day on the mountain is a good day!

  Once again, cudo's to the crew at Timberline! See you in a few....

  In regards to "Ron's" comments... I was "working" at T-line, day Flood'o went down (Jeff's express) Longest someone was on lift was less than 1 hour... 26 + degrees, 5-10 mph wind.

  Palmer does not run in the winter (from Late March to Early November) once the "lower" hill opens, Palmer closes (insurance reasons)... Only time Storman's is closed is...1)weather...2)Mile is open...Pucci is a slow 2 person chair, and as such, if Stoman's and/or Flood-o is open Pucci is not...

  T-line will open as many lifts as is "humanly possible" but the weather dictates what is open...

  Best bang for the buck around.

  Ever since Timberline opened Jeff they seem to think 'since we've opened up so much more terrain we only need to run 2 lifts (Jeff and Molly most days) and we can still charge the same as if we were running all 6!'. Last year rode Timberline 12 times, never once saw the Mile or Palmer open. 2 times Pucci was open, 1/2 time Norman was closed. One time we were stuck on Jeff for 2 hours in the open with 30+ mph wind around 20 degrees and had to repel off. They got the repel rope hung up on the chair and my nephew 1/2 way down had to climb back up to the chair snowboard and all! Nice! They offered us some hand warmers for our near frost bite conditions. Raised a fuss and they gave us each a voucher for a free meal at the Cafe. There are a lot of flats between runs with choke points and the noobs get stuck there all the time, and since they wont open pucci all the noobs are over chokin the trails on Jeff. When pucci's not running can't access the terrain unless you want to hike out. I'm seriously hoping they fixed the bleed out trail from the bottom of pucci to Jeff in the off season, would make a HUGE difference. Been riding Tiberline for 10 years+, depending on how many lifts they run (bruno doesn't count), it's directly proportional how good the day will be. Seems to me they should proportion ticket prices, just in the interest of fairness, cuz you never know until your there how many lifts they will actually run, the morning chair report online or snowphone is almost always wrong. Regardless, last year they had almost 900" of snow:)

  Skiing from the top of the year-round Palmer snowfield to the bottom of the Jeff Flood Express is a truly awesome experience. It must be over 3.5 miles long! Nowhere on earth will you ski amongst such giant old growth trees and the view is among the most spectacular in the world.

  Check out the new Still Creek Basin, its great! New lift also called Jeff Flood express it's the longest lift on Mt.Hood.

  Timberline is so beautiful! The views alone have made me decide to make this my FAVORITE place, EVER... so far. I can't speak for the lodge because I couldn't leave the mountain long enough to waste my time inside. The mountain has huge wide runs that are so fun and awesome. Midweek is empty and you feel like you own the place. On clear days you can see a lot of the cascades, including a few mountain peaks to the south and the coastal range. Also, Mirror lake. Truly a place every skier/boarder should visit once in their lives. You can ski almost year round and you ski right under the peak of Mt. Hood. Amazing! No wonder the US Ski Team trains here.

  Born and raised in Oregon. Have skied Mt.Hood for 30yrs now but still can't get enough. Timberline might be a little flat for those who don't know the area, but you can find everything you need and more. Us locals are very easy going and would be happy to show anyone around. See you on the slopes.

  What a place!!! It was so good I travelled 11000 miles back,a couple of months later, to make sure it was not a dream. Stayed in the lodge the second time and what an experience that was. When there is a fresh dump, which is often in the winter, this place rock's!!. The Magic Mile to the very bottom has been my most memorable ride EVER!!! In 10 years of boarding the lift queue mid week was averaging 5 people. A place that I shall return to. The downside is it is a bugger to get to so find a place with slopeside accommodation and leave Timberline to the locals and myself.

  Timberline is awesome! Tons of snow every year! The parks are amazing, over 3500 ft. of vertical! Long runs! But not a ton of expert terrain, Palmer is great steep
  and long deep too. Also, the resort is open year round, you can get in 360 days a year at Timberline!

  How can a mountain so tall have terrain so flat? Great place to learn, but lacks any advanced/expert terrain.
