TIMBERLINE LODGE ROOMS:
Come out and play!  We have nearly 200 inches of snow, Palmer will be open shortly and we want to share it with our friends at NWSCC with a special spring room rate of $100 for weekday nights during April & May.  We’d also like to discount your lift tickets for the days of skiing around your stay to $26.  Spring is epic on the Mountain.  Where else do get a shot at 12 inches of new on a  blue bird Palmer day in April.   Or it may just rain.   But as the saying goes, “It’s all good”, because  Chef Benson will set you up with his renowned northwest fare and "The Ram’s Head" is always fully stocked.  Seriously, this is why we live here.  We have one of the best backyards in the world!  Go play in it!  To make your reservations call 1-800-547-1406 and refer to code NWSCC. 
This offer is subject to availability.
