Timberline, USA - Oregon

I've ridden lots of different mountains between Whistler and Tahoe and T-Line (Timberline) is definitely my favorite. For starters, the parking lot is too small for the resort. So as long as you get there early, you'll never have to deal with the crowds you would at Meadows. I almost always get fresh tracks somewhere.

The people working at T-Line are always helpful and stoked. The people riding T-Line always seem to be very cool too. I've had very few problems with people's park etiquette - which is usually where I've seen problems arise at other resorts.

I rode T-Line about 30 times last year and the only time there are issues with crowds is when there is a park competition and people are bussed in. That only clogs up the park but you'll always be able to find open runs elsewhere.

Palmer and The Mile runs don't open too often but I think that is too be expected with how high they are on the mountain and how bad conditions are up there. Plus it makes it all the more magical when you do get to take a run from up up there.

Three biggest complaints are 1. Trail at the bottom of Pucci to get to Floodo's is super flat and results in having to avoid Pucci terrain. 2. Hard Coffee drinks are way too expensive. 3. The guys at board check seem to move as slow as the tectonic plates (but it's free so I can't complain too much).

T-Line is doper than dope. Keep up the great work fellas.
