Timberline is my resort of choice because it has a cozy, authentic look and feel. The atmosphere is more of a traditional lodge, with fireplaces throughout the main lodge and the ski/snowboard area for lift tickets and rentals. Other resorts tend to have a manufactured experience--places like Meadows on Mt. Hood or places on the eat coast like Hunter and Killington scream profit margins and efficiency.

I am a snowboarder who is comfortable on greens and blues, and functional on black diamonds. The trails are great for my skill level. If you are into park, Timberline is also your best bet.

If you want more black diamond trails or bowls (which Timberline does not offer), you may want to pair Timberline with Ski Bowl or go to Meadows instead.
