Timberline Ski Resort above historic Timberline Lodge stays open year-round for skiing on the snowfield sitting atop Palmer Glacier. Timberline sits on Mt. Hood’s south face at 6,000 feet, and the glacier sits above, accessed by the Magic Mile Sky Ride chairlift. Palmer Snowfield has amazing views and several ski trails of varying skill level, and Timberline offers a summer ski camp too.
