Timberline Lodge's 10-year master development plan approved

The U.S. Forest Service has reviewed and accepted Timberline's master development plan. Although nothing has been officially approved, Timberline hopes the plan guides improvements over the next decade.

Mount Hood has gotten busier and busier over the years. Timberline Lodge and Ski Area are prime destinations. But Highway 26 and the road up to Timberline are now regularly choked with traffic.

Enter the concept of the master development plan, as laid out in a new Timberline presentation. Over conceptual renderings, Jeff Kohnstamm, president and area operator of the Timberline owner R.L.K. and Company, said the cornerstone is, “essentially a gondola that would go from Summit Pass Lodge to Timberline, great for getting to Timberline for skiing, to Timberline for sightseeing, but especially beneficial as an alternative form of transportation.”

The gondola is the star of this new presentation, but it is an idea that's been around for a long time.

You're just moving the congestion from your parking glot to someone else's. Government Camp has their own issues with parking during the winter, this'll make it worse.

its a 50 year old idea. they were going to do it at Government Camp to timberline.

People wonder why skiing is so expensive? Have to pay for it somehow. Liked the old west cheap and on your own, no nanny state lookin' for your permits and fees.

thats messed up. They are going to screw over the other resorts if timberline has the only access.

a nice cover for Alien base camp too. convenient control set up as in Nev.

Great Now how much are the lift tickets going to be!? Isn't this public! Should the forest service require ski resorts to be Not for Profit or atleast nonprofit? Will the resort now have sole reign over the lower haft of mount hood? Where's BARK when you need them. Please do your do diligence KGW we would appreciate it!
