The options for skiing and riding in Oregon range from the one-lift town hill to the only year-round mountain in the United States – with all kinds of variety in between.

Only one resort in North America spins its lifts in all four seasons. That’s Timberline Lodge Ski & Snowboard Area, hard on the slopes of Oregon’s Mount Hood and beneficiary of both high elevations and the largesse of the Northern Pacific storms. 

A snowboarder missing since Saturday was found dead, buried under a large piece of ice as an ice tunnel on Mt. Hood, Ore. collapsed around him. He was identified as Collin Backowski, 25, of Pines, Colo, according to various news reports. 

The venerable Timberline Lodge received a late but great 75th birthday present with designation as one of America’s legendary hotels.
