At Skibowl, we are still enjoying autumn.  The Adventure Park is open for another weekend and we are winding down the season with our first ever Dog Day fun run/hike, to benefit Oregon Guide Dogs for the Blind.  Yeah, Mt. Hood National Forest  hiking trails are calling, but just around  the corner, winter is  coming fast!  

Fusion Passes are on sale and the big ski show is  just weeks away. Fusion Passes are the best deal for winter riding and they got even better for the 2010-11 season, with price reductions for juniors and teens. Fusion lets you ride unrestricted all season long at both Timberline and Skibowl.
