Timberline Announces Season Opening!: “Get ready skiers and riders… this Friday, October 1st will mark the opening of the ski and snowboard season at Timberline! Late spring storms and focused summer grooming and maintenance of the Palmer Snowfield have provided a great level of snow above 7,000 feet.

We’ll be operating our Magic Mile and Palmer Chairs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through October (weather/conditions permitting). We’ll look to open more lifts as soon as the snow starts to fall and we can build a base on the lower mountain. And with the current La Nina forecast, all fingers are crossed that this will happen sooner rather than later!

All 2010-11 Timberline Full Winter Season Passes, including the Mt. Hood Fusion Pass, will be valid starting October 1st. You can purchase your Mt. Hood Fusion Pass at the mountain, or at Portland area REI stores on Saturdays & Sundays during the month of October. For more information, visit www.mthoodfusionpass.com.

Daily lift tickets will be available at reduced pricing until we have more lifts available to ride:

Adult (18-64) – $48
Teen (15-17) – $40
Junior (7-14) – $35
Senior (65-70) – $35

Please remember, the Palmer Snowfield is recommended for advanced intermediate and above skill level only, and downloading on the Magic Mile lift is required during the early season.

We’re looking forward to the longest snow season in the country – we’ll see you out on the hill!”
