I searched this up and couldnt find anything so i was just wondering if anybody knew how much the summer ticket prices will timberline this year. I will be there for 6 days at the start of july and i could only find spring rates on the timberline site. Thanks for the help.

day passes are $52, i think the summer pass is up to $1000...you can also clip from a racer at 10:30am every day for 10$ tops

damn 1,000 dollars now? hopefully it is still $800. clipping is possible but last year they started to crack down on it. some ski racers are little bitches about it too

clipping is so hard now.
they force you to attach the ticket to a zipper or something on you pants with a metal hook thing.
you can't just put it on a zip tie and clip the tie when you want buy the pass.

wire cutters will be your best friend. clip the metal "wicket" right above where the ticket sticks together. there will usually be a part that is slightly unstuck between the two wires, and you can usually slowly and carefully pull the ticket apart with your thumbs without ripping it.

don't get too close to the lodge either, hang back in the lot, pretend your putting boots on, or even sit in your car, and scout your targets before you approach them.

also note that on the bottom of the tickets there is a time stamp that shows what time the ticket was purchased, what type of card was used, and if you ski or snowboard. if it's a camp ticket, it will have the camp info on there. the lifties might ask you questions like "what time does the last bus leave?" or "what time did you buy your ticket?" -- dumb shit like that. make sure you're ticket can withstand a solid tug too, some guys will try to pull hard to see if they can rip it off.

if you have any other questions i'd be happy to let you know how things worked a few years ago. working at timberline was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, i'd do anything to get the place back. good luck.

true, but ski passes shouldn't be priced on supply and demand.

Timberline is a business, the goal of a business is to make money.  And when you have an opportunity as perfect as this, where you have virtually no competition you can put the price at whatever you want because people will most likely still pay for it.  And really when you look at it, it is skiing for like 4 months for 875 and pro camp for windells is 800 for a week.

i would gladly pay $875 if they could maintain their park to the level it's at during the spring.

Still fuckin expensive but I guess it pays more to buy that season pass, when you are stayin' for some long time:

875usd÷ 52usd= about 17 days

so you've got 17 days of riding buyin' lift ticket everyday in the same price of season pass
