Don't normally post a whole lot on the board, but after the weekend me and my buddy had at Timberline, I want everyone to know how awesome the place is. Super cheap (think half the price of Snowshoe) but just about as good as Snowshoe. Not as many rock drops and things as Snowshoe, but a ton of high speed wide open super fun trails. There's definitely some rocks and gaps, but I think the best part was how fast you can go without worry about popping a tire every 20 feet. Lots of old ATV trails too full of ruts that make for some nice sets of doubles (again super high speed).
On top of the riding, you can camp there for FREE. You can even bring your camping equipment up the lift and camp at the top if you feel like it. And the lift runs from 10-6, they don't close it early and run a shuttle for the rest of the day. If sleeping on the ground isn't your thing, they have places to stay for as low as 16 bucks. But for 16 bucks I'd rather get the all-you-can-eat pork ribs on saturday night at the bar there.
I would highly highly highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. If you've been riding Wisp or Snowshoe all summer, now is the perfect time to skip a weekend and head to Timberline. Just get in touch with jrnolan on the board and he will hook you up. There are so many trails at this place, you'll need him to show you around a bit just so you get a feel for the place.
Anyway, attaching a bunch of the pics we took from the weekend. That's me on the green Bottlerocket and my buddy Neal on the gray Trek.
Seriously, go to this place, you will have an awesome time.
