Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood, Oregon

Timberline Lodge Ski Resort is located on Mount Hood in Oregon, and boasts a longer snow season than any other ski resort in North America.  This year, even after a rotten winter snow season, Timberline offered summer skiing on their Palmer Snowfield until August 2nd.  Timberline also boasts a vertical of 3,690 feet - the largest in the US Pacific Northwest.

We have not yet been to Timberline in the winter, but really hope to get an opportunity during the upcoming 2015-16 snow season.

The Lodge at Timberline itself is a sight to behold - a real true masterpiece.  Perhaps the coolest ski lodge I have ever been in.

If you have never been skiing in the summer, you should definitely consider Timberline next summer.  It's an awesome experience and you'll probably even witness brave (or stupid?) souls skiing and riding in shorts and tank tops ...
