Prévisions de Neige pour Timberline

I like Timberline. It usually isn't that crowded although the parking lot, like most other resorts, can fill up on weekends. It's a good place for recreational types in the winter season. The terrain parks look great and they do a pretty good job of keeping the recreational types and the park rats separated on the slope. There are some great advanced beginner runs but you need to navigate solid blue runs to get to them. Once you get there though, it's some relaxing skiing without worrying too much about speed demons coming at you. They tend to stay on the upper intermediate runs and you mostly just see them at the lifts. However, once the other ski areas close in the spring, all the hardcore skiers show up as it's the only game in town. I get that the beginners and intermediates put their equipment away come the end of spring break and it's not cost effective to keep the easier runs maintained, but it's still disappointing. As an older intermediate skier, I wouldn't go back in the late spring or summer because there's few options for slower skiers and boarders on weekends. The last time I was up, I felt like I was getting in people's way. Weekdays, it's probably better. The shape of the mountain dictates everything but I wish the beginner lift served more terrain or there was a longer lift that didn't require navigating steeper blue terrain to use. I don't use it myself but it would also be great if the magic carpet conveyor was closer to the day lodge (so parents can keep an eye on their little ones).
