Temira's forecasts are always right -- or off by maybe two hours. I send her money to keep the reports coming.

What I don't get is why, in the spring, anyone would go to Timberline from Hood River when Meadows is forty minutes closer and better skiing. Timberline Lodge is neat, http://www.winetrailadventures.com/b...line-lodge.jpg -- but the skiing is dull, and thus the nick name Timberflats or Flatline.

Now, during the summer, that's a different story. You ride your bike up to Timberline from Hood River (killer long climb), spend the night at Timberline Lodge and then ski on Palmer the next day (assuming your wife and son have met you with your skis). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vW-LB9Gsns

My son was up there every summer at ski camp. I would ride up from the Portland side, which is a lot easier, IMO, but still a long climb. The last 5-6 miles up Timberline Road is stunning, at least for Oregon. It isn't the Alps or even the North Cascades, but it's local and fun.

yeah when drove over the horizon from Idahoe.....Mt Hood eyeehahahhah domed in snow. I pulled over to check the map n boggled.

Hood River's OK but the NYT has a specific perspective. My body said nomoah CHOH during summer training. 20 years later, I have a neg reaction thinking abt CHOH.

NYT could try 36 HRS IN THE DALLES....
