I'm going soon and after calling guest services a couple of times recently it seems there's an operational change for the Timberline lift. They decide day to day to run it or not, according to guest services, although I can't imagine not running it on weekends when the mountain is wide open.

Two seasons ago (can't remember about last year) they had hard days of the week Timberline was open on the website, although they did open it unexpectedly when I was there on a weekday (because one of the other summit lifts shut down). A bit frustrating, it'd be nice to go on a weekday I know it'll be open.

It’s not the schedule shown on their website today?

If they need to shut down a chair due to staffing , I'd rather it be Wilderness instead of T-Line all day.

It surprises me T-Line doesn't get more of the mountains focus. Vista has the steeper terrain , but it's short before flattening out. Timberline has more consistent pitch for longer distances. Better parking. I don't have much interest in Bolton when it's not open.

I don't think guest services has any idea what they're talking about, timberline trails are groomed and if nothing else you can't have a grooming plan if you don't know whether you're running the lift until the morning of.
