Masks will be required indoors, in lift lines and anywhere else outdoors where people may not be able to socially distance. They also know things can change quickly and both ski areas said they are prepared for whatever the pandemic or mother nature throws at them whether it be La Nina weather patterns or tightening COVID restrictions.
Both areas have made improvements ahead of opening day. Notably, Timberline is expanding its terrain and opening a new run called Summit Pass. Skiers and boarders can ride from the top of Palmer all the way down to Government Camp (vertical drop 4,540ft, the biggest in the U.S.).
