Picabo Street, Bill Johnson and Tommy Moe, as well as snowboarders like Shawn Palmer and Ross Powers have trained here. Seventy-five percent of the summer mountain is training terrain and 25 percent is for recreation skiers. The perpetual Palmer snowfield at 8,500 feet offers quality skiing conditions. The public may also ski the moderate runs below the Palmer chair which run down to the Timberline Lodge, but it is recommended to ski these runs in the early morning, before they soften under the afternoon sun. The Market Cafe at Timberline's Wy'east Day Lodge is a good mid-day stop.
Alfresco dining is offered on the deck with barbecue fare, pasta dining, and a full bar.
The Wy'east Kitchen offers cafeteria-style food. If you want to pamper yourself after an active day recreating, dine at Timberline's Cascade Dining Room, famous for its continental and Northwest fare, prepared under the direction of executive chef Leif Eric Benson, winner of several international culinary awards. If you're staying at Timberline Lodge, treat yourself to their large heated swimming pool and hydro spa. Timberline Lodge, now a National Historic Landmark, is the dean of mountain lodges. Ambling through its rustic doors is like stepping into a simpler, more elegant time when detail was the rule, not the exception.
