Mountain LayoutSkiing
Half
of Timberline skiing is still below tree line and the main lodge,
but few experiences in the skiing world match a ride up the Magic
Mile Super Express and the Palmer Express to the top of the Palmer
Snowfield. The original Magic Mile lift was the second ski lift
in the country, after Sun Valley's. Silcox Hut, which served as
the original top terminus and warming hut, has been restored and
is open to overnight groups.The Palmer Snowfield is for experts only while the middle of the mountain, served by Magic Mile Super Express, is great for intermediates. Beginners will enjoy skiing the lower lifts, Pucci and Victoria Station. Below the Timberline Lodge are many
blues and greens, with a few short blacks. The trail system between
the trees makes each run feel like a wilderness excursion.
Here's a trail
map.
