CAMPS. TRAINING IN THE FALL Each year Timberline closes the Palmer chairlift at the
end of Labor Day weekend, then after a couple weeks of lift maintenance,
they reopen for fall training (when there is enough snow coverage)Once they reopen, Timberline
operates the lifts every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (weather
permitting). We offer 7 sessions in the fall that include 3-days
on snow, and one full week-long camp right around the Thanksgiving
holiday. Fall is an excellent time to train with the same excellent
training as in the summer but with shorter lift lines.
FALL CAMPS OFFER CERTAIN ADVANTAGES Fall training has several advantages. First of all, this is the only place in North American where you can train on snow during this time of the year. Several race programs bring their teams here for early season training. Lift lines don't exist this time of year, so skiers and snowboarders alike can take advantage of the quantity of training runs in a shorter period of time. Getting in 25-30 runs in a day is not uncommon this time of year. Snow conditions are usually firm in the morning, and then soften up a bit as the day warms up. It's a great opportunity to get a jump start on the season. For group or team camps, email mike@mthood.com call us at 503-337-2230.
FALL TRAINING FOR SNOWBOARDERS If you are a snowboard racer, fall is an excellent time of year to train. With so few people on the mountain this time of year, we have plenty of room to set snowboard specific race courses. Great opportunity to hone those carving & racing skills before the upcoming race season.
If you are a snowboard freerider, the mountain offers wide open carving on the groomed lanes, and typically a couple of jumps are available. There is not enough snow this time of year for a fully maintained terrain park or halfpipe. FALL RACE TRAINING
