Hey Everyone!
We wanted to reach out to everyone to give the NS world a little insight into the situation for the summer, our on-hill offering, and what we bring to the table on our private campus.
First, let's talk snowpack...
While we are not denying that snow fall has been below average this year in the Northwest, but due to the natural conditions up on Mount Hood, and the continued snow farming efforts of the A+ team at Timberline, we are not only confident, but EXCITED to ski all summer long. A snow field is a persistent body of snow and ice found in mountainous terrain. The Windells park sits atop The Palmer Glacier and Palmer Snowfield, giving us a dense base that can be 30+ feet deep in places! The Palmer glacier sits just above 6,000 feet and extends higher even than the Windells park to about 9,300 feet.
Timberline's Head Freestyle Groomer (Caleb Hamilton, follow @destoylab on Instagram!) doubles as our Head Park Builder throughout the Summer. He and his crew have been instrumental in snow farming throughout the winter so that we will be able to slash those winter waves all summer long. Recently he gave us some insight about how snow farming can turn a few inches of snow across Mount Hood into over FOUR feet in the Windells lane on Timberline. (We wrote about it here -
