Timberline to be Open Every Day This Season

The popular Timberline Area at Bolton Valley, featuring the Timberline quad and a variety of intermediate and advanced terrain, will be open every day during the 2009-2010 season. In years past, Timberline has been open on weekends and during holiday periods.

"Timberline is one of the most popular areas of the mountain; a real favorite with our local skiers and riders," said George B. Potter, Bolton Valley President. "We're very pleased to be able to offer skiing and riding at Timberline every day, beginning this season."

The Timberline Area is located on the Bolton Valley Access Road directly across from the resort's Ponds event venue; about a mile before the main base area. The Timberline area includes its own base lodge and some of the best powder skiing/riding on the mountain.

"The glades at Timberline are a magnet for snow and stashes at Timberline last for days following a storm," said Potter. "With our high elevation, west facing slopes and proximity to Lake Champlain, we average about 312 inches of snow each season."

This winter, Bolton Valley will be making more of a commitment to snowmaking on the Cobrass trail that connects the main mountain with Timberline, making it much easier to get to Timberline from the main mountain face, Potter said.

The Timberline area offers some of the resorts best cruising terrain, along with a number of black diamond trails.
