Does Timberline at Hood offer a summer pass similar to their spring pass? Is it worth? If not, where's the best June skiing in NA?

I'm pretty sure after the spring pass ends the options are either a ~900$ summer pass or 70 or something day tickets. Probably wrong about those numbers, but either way not as cheap as the spring pass. Gotta make it out there in May

Summer pass is fucked up expensive. Hike or get a job there.

Summer Pass is $900. Good Luck!
Day tickets are $64. Complete rip-off.
Working for Timberline, SkiBowl, Windells, Mount Hood Summer Ski Camp or High Cascade will get you free skiing. All of these jobs are extremely low paying and lame.

Next section is not advised but you will want this information too...
You can poach upper mountain Palmer laps by hiking (long way and easy to get busted) or clip tickets off racers who leave absurdly early (very easy to get busted). Don't do it though TLine is a good place and getting blacklisted is not worth it.

Other ideas:
1.) Mt. Hood is a glacier you can ski backcountry and build your own features year round. (Lots of hiking but insanely rewarding).
2.) You could also feed the itch by heading to a nice high alpine peak in the West. There will be great summer corn skiing in the PNW, Montana/Wyoming Sierra etc. (Best times skiing Rocky Mountain National Park in July).
3.) Make plans for next year and do a legit season in the Southern Hemisphere. New Zealand or Chile/Argentina are amazing.

tldr: hood is crowded go southern hemisphere
