Timberline Lodge/Mt. Hood, OR to CLOSE Early for 1st Time in 10 Yrs. Legendary Timberline Lodge ski resort on Mt.

Timberline almost always stays open until the end of September (Labor Day) and has the longest season in North America by far. The last time Timberline closed early was on August 18th, 2005.
