Summer skiing

Helltown_SenderForgive me for being a total dunce about this, I’m from midwest. Since all this corona stuff is going on, do you think places like hood will have longer summer seasons bc no one is wearing down the snow there now?

I doubt they will reopen

I've heard through the grapevine Timberline will remain closed for spring skiing until at least the end of May. They are however currently planning to open for summer operations, covid-19 permitting. One hiccup is the Palmer chair (the one used to get to the glacier) was badly damaged from an ice storm and needs a ton of repairs. I'm not certain if they can repair it during social distancing, but hopefully it's deemed essential work and gets fixed up. If all goes as planned Timberline will be open for summer shred.

And if you haven't seen yet check out timberlines website, they are no longer having private lane space at Tline for Windells, High Cascade, MHSSC etc. Instead Tline is running all parks as 'public' with a little paywall to get in. If this goes as planned summer skiing is going to be phenomenal this year, even for anyone not in a summer camp. Check the link below.

But, tragically, be prepared for the possibility of no skiing this summer. This whole global pandemic thing is a bitch.

Whoever is working those camps computer stuff was hard at work today. I got email from both Windells and MHSsc saying theyre planning on doing the sessions as planned and Windells announced some of the takeover pros.

If anything the snow from mid march on will melt quicker due to not being packed down, but palmer doesn't get touched until summer anyway so it won't be affected
