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!

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.
