Skiers and snowboarders are in for an early-season treat this weekend as Timberline Lodge announces a limited opening on this Saturday and Sunday, thanks to a recent snowstorm that blanketed the slopes. The Pucci lift will operate from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, providing an exciting preview of the upcoming season, though beginner terrain will not be available at this time.
Important Details for Guests
Guests eager to secure a season pass should take note that prices will increase on Monday, and Timberlineโs Guest Services team will be available to assist with any last-minute purchases. For those planning a day trip, discounted lift tickets can be purchased on-site, recognizing the limited terrain currently open.
For newcomers or those looking to refine their skills, private lessons are available during this opening weekend. Additional lesson offerings, including the Kids Club and group lessons, will launch later in the season on December 21. Ski and snowboard rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests can inquire with the rental team about seasonal rental options for extended convenience.
Early-Season Safety Reminders
With early-season conditions in place, Timberline advises guests to be cautious and aware of active machinery and unmarked hazards. โGuests should respect all trail closures and approach the mountain with safety in mind,โ said a spokesperson for the resort. While winter driving conditions are expected, Timberlineโs shuttle service is not yet in operation, so visitors are encouraged to plan accordingly.
For up-to-date information, Timberline recommends checking its conditions page throughout the weekend. This limited opening is a promising start to the season, giving skiers and riders an exciting taste of winter recreation at Timberline Lodge.
