Skiing at Timberline
Great
sking and riding begin with great snow, and with a peak elevation of 4,268
feet, Timberline gets more than its share (an average of over 150 inches each
season!!) And where nature leaves off, our snowmakers take over, covering our
terrain with enough snow to ensure the best possible conditions all winter
long. With a vertical rise of 1,000 feet , you'll enjoy some of the longest
runs in the East (as long as 2 miles). And because our 36 slopes and trails
are evenly divided among easiest, intermediate, and expert terrain skiers of
all abilities will find plenty of great ways to get to the bottom. Of course,
once you've finished your run, our 3 chair-lifts will get you right back up
for another.
