Access to the historic lodge is currently reserved for overnight guests only. We normally encourage visitors to come wander through the lodge but during this time we ask those folks to please postpone their visits. Sledding is not permitted at Timberline. We ask sledders to visit Snow Bunny, approximately 1 mile east of Government Camp. Until further notice, day use lockers in the Wy'East Day Lodge are not available. Stay safe and healthy and we appreciate everyone working with us and adhering to local guidelines during these times.
UPDATE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2020
In an effort to reduce the spread of Covid and responsibly promote public health and safety, Gov. Brown announced a statewide order beginning November 18th. This order does NOT include ski areas. It is Timberline’s genuine intention to deliberately and responsibly offer much-needed relief through outdoor recreation. We are open for skiing and snowboarding with reduced capacity, conditions permitting. Capacity will be managed based on how many cars our parking lot is able safely accommodate, first-come-first-served. When the lot is at a safe operating capacity, Timberline Rd. will close. People will be allowed up when spaces become available. Please plan on arriving no earlier than 7:30am when the roads are plowed, but well before 9am to gain access before the road closes. Anticipate capacity to free up in the afternoons when people often leave after a morning of skiing.
Upon arrival, guests should remain with your vehicles until 8:00am. The Wy’East Day Lodge will be locked until 8:00am. Please do not line up at the ticket windows until 8:00am. If you are in the parking lot, you will get whatever you need: lift tickets, rentals, lessons (subject to availability), grab-and-go breakfast and retail. Please note, day use lockers in the Wy’East Day Lodge are not available.
It is more important than ever to visit Timberline responsibly. We thank everyone in advance for being mindful and following our Health and Responsibility guidelines.

Timberline would like to welcome our guests back and say thank you to loyal pass holders, skiers, and riders with a genuine intention to deliberately and responsibly offer much needed relief through outdoor recreation. Timberline was born from the Great Depression as a response and need to heal: creating jobs, mending communities and bringing back a sense of purpose to a fractured society. It is with this ethos of creation, healing and purpose that we are open with limited and modified ski area and hotel operations.
Guidelines for All Visitors:
Timberline is a responsible part of the community and doing the right thing is at our foundation. Please count on us to do that. We are counting on you to do your part. Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you.
As we responsibly work though these challenging times, mountain operations, including but not limited to ski area, bike park, hotel, F&B and retail may be limited or modified at any time in response to changing circumstances. We will do our best to accurately report changes and updates as quickly as possible. We would like to sincerely thank our customers and employees for promoting and practicing safe social distancing while making healthy choices. The open spaces and fresh air on Mt. Hood are a responsible choice for outdoor recreation and experiences. Thank you.
UPDATE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24
A Timberline Lodge Mountain Operations employee has tested positive for Covid-19. The Clackamas County Public Health Department and the Oregon Health Authority have been contacted and we are currently awaiting a response.
The employee’s last shift was Friday, December 18. They did not experience symptoms until Sunday December 20th. We have a good understanding of possible exposure locations and other individuals who were potentially exposed. A guest who was in prolonged contact with the staff member that tested positive with Covid-19 has been instructed to self-isolate and to consult a doctor about their potential exposure. At this point, based on the CDC’s exposure guidance, there are not any other employees who will need to self- isolate; this is attributed to the CDC’s definition of exposure as well as the employee staying diligent about physical distancing, wearing a mask at all times on Timberline property, and washing and sanitizing their hands frequently.
UPDATE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28
On Friday, November 27, a Timberline Lodge Administrative employee has tested positive for Covid-19. The Clackamas County Public Health Department and the Oregon Health Authority have been contacted.
The employee’s last shift was Wednesday, November 25. They did not experience symptoms until later in the day. We have a good understanding of possible location exposure and other employees who were potentially exposed. Employees who were in prolonged contact with the staff member that tested positive with Covid-19 have been instructed to self-isolate and to consult a doctor about their potential exposure.
Sanitation of the suspected Covid areas has been executed.
UPDATE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11
On Tuesday, November 10th, a Timberline Lodge Food and Beverage employee tested positive for Covid-19. The Clackamas County Public Health Department and the Oregon Health Authority have been contacted.
The employee’s last shift was Friday, November 6. They did not experience symptoms until the following day. We have a good understanding of possible location of exposure and other employees who were potentially exposed. Employees who were in prolonged contact with the staff member that tested positive with Covid-19 have been instructed to self-isolate and to consult a doctor about their potential exposure.
Everyone has been doing a great job wearing masks, and want to continue wearing masks properly, practicing social distancing and keeping up with sanitation protocols. As we see our first significant snowfall for the season and ramp up to open for the winter, it is important to remain diligent in our infection prevention procedures. Research has shown that wearing a mask in close working environments helps reduce the risk of exposure by 70%, so keep wearing those face masks and keep up the good work. LEARN MORE
