Ski-in/ski-out or a short walk?
Among the places to stay we found at Timberline Lodge Ski Area, 1 place to stay is about a 5-minute walk or less from the bottom of a lift. “Ski-in/ski-out” and “slopeside” are labels each property gives itself, and they can mean a run past the door or a groomed path to the nearest chair. We don't repeat the label; we measure the walk to a lift's bottom station and how close a mapped run passes. Before you book, ask the property which run reaches the door and whether it is groomed all season.
