i realize this is fairly early to be thinking about but there are some deals i could jump on right now and was wondering if i should get a pass to t line or meadows? i've never skied timberline(i know its flatter than meadows) but i've had a pass at meadows for 3 years. im going to focus on park next year since i just started it last season and got hooked.

T-Line's park was mindblowingly awesome all season. Actually, it's still awesome, and their season pass is still good through this weekend! By comparison, Meadows was lackluster at best.

So, I guess it's between skiing an awesome park until mid-June, or an inferior one until May. Hmmmm....

not sure if it was said or not, but don't get just a timberline pass.

Get the fusion pass, that way if you want to be focusing on park, you can do so in by far the best park on hood.  Besides park, though, timberline is probably one of the flattest and shittiest areas in the western US, so unless you are completely content skiing park everyday, definitely get a fusion pass that way you can hit up skibowl which has some decent terrain when the snow level is low.  I think the fusion is only a bit more than timberline-only pass, so it is definitely worth it.

fusion ftw. Timberline is super fun even besides park, the atmosphere is refreshing compared to mhm. Same with skibowl, super fun on powder, laid back, chill buttery park the rest of the time. If you live on portland side, don't go to meadows again.

i went to timberline for the first time this season and i loved it. the park is so much better then meadows. the only downer is that timberline is flatter but i still think timberline is worth it

perfect day:
ski t-line all day untill lifts close at like 3ish, bout an hour before they do ride up all the way the mile and take a cat ride up palmer. ride from palmer all the way to jeff floods(RIP) and find the glade trail. take all the way to bottem of summit ski resort(shiit hole)  and that will be one of the longest rund or your life. good 5 miles atleast and about a 6000 feet vertical change. then throw those skis over your shoulder and hike it down to ski bowl and shred untill 11. have fun!!

THE BES! trail your talking about is the Alpine trail but there is also the Glade which comes out on the road above Huckleberry. (they are both super fun). The ride from top of Palmer down the trail to Govy is 5.5 miles SOO FUNN. Or if you just take Palmer to bottom of Jeff Flood if you want to stay at Timberline that is a 3.5 mile run. super duper
