Landmark Must see
Step back in time to the depression era, when we were just getting access to the wilderness, and the gov wanted to help folks do that & get jobs. Result? Incredible craftsmanship, must see. So charming! And the food & wine is incredible, what a surprise! MUST eat here, should stay here. I did miss some of the modern amenitites, but no complaints; I'd rather have the authentic deal!

Great airs on terrain park....
Timberline has got 2 great terrain parks. I spent all my time on the beginner/intermediate park on the right of the slope and had a blast (i'm new to terrain parks). Great jumps, easy landings, no blind turns. Fun mountain to hit the parks on.

Experience history
To really appreciate all Timberline Lodge has to offer one has to appreciate the history of this place. The lodge was constructed between 1936 and 1938 as a project of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. The idea was war the government to build and operate the facility (which creates jobs) and make it available to the public for recreation activities. 70 years later Timberline Lodge is privately owned and has lost nothing of its rustic charm. There might be other places that are more upscale but how many hotels can claim to be a National Historic Landmark. The rooms are simple but feature private baths, TVs and wifi. The Chalet rooms have bunk beds and shared bathrooms. The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool, sauna and spa. One of the best things is huge stone fireplace in the middle of the main house. There is nothing better than sitting by the fire after a good day of skiing.
