Fair use rationale for Image:Timberline snowgoose.png

1940s / 1950s
I am troubled about the years indicated in the captions of the pictures: The Pee Chee folders were first produced in 1943 (as per the article). The picture of the Magic Mile chairlift could then show a skier of the late 1940s with poles of natural materials. The first two photos in the gallery show skiers with metal poles which I believe were introduced in the mid 1950s. The annotations of the second file on Commons says: This Skyway lift was opened in the Spring of 1951. So most probably, those photos were taken in the 1950s. --AHert (talk) 10:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Windells Camp
...is also a freeski camp. Fixed it. Otherwise it would look as if skiing only means racing, which is not the fact. 88.66.0.59 (talk) 10:36, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Skiable area below lodge?
It is true that in the winter most of ski-able terrain is below the lodge but in the summer the opposite is true. Note that, locally, Mount Hood Meadows has terrain below the main lodge as does Mount Hood Skibowl. I'm not sure if any statement about "skiable terrain below the main lodge" belongs in the first paragraph. – droll  &#91;chat&#93;  06:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * The EIS states that 40% of the time during the winter the upper mountain is closed. That's due to low visibility, high winds, or generally bad conditions like rain where few skiers/snowboarders are interested in enduring conditions.  So, no, it's not true:  60% of the time, the upper mountain is also open, along with the lower mountain, during winter.  It is true that in the summer the lower mountain is closed and, by late May or June, all skiing is above the lodge.


 * There's no real terrain below the MHM lodges, except for like 10 vertical feet to loading areas for Daisy and Buttercup. I suppose there is the trail to the overflow parking, but that hardly counts as "skiing".  Likewise Ski Bowl's skiing below the lodges, both east and west, amount to no more than 20 vertical feet of gullies.  —EncMstr (talk) 07:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Ecological/conservation efforts
Something should be added to artitlc eabout their conservation efforts around energy use and carbon output, water use and water quality, and waste reduction, recycling, and composting. They have challenges to carbon output production because of weather, traffic congestn, permitting and regulatory agencies (they have a national historic registry building, and the US Forest Service), watershed and ecosystem connectivity (influence headwaters of 3 major tributaries which are threatened), erosion of the volcano, and their 60 mile distance from PDX.

Efforts include Tier 4 fuel efficiency tracking, Ultra Tech Magnetic Industrial Lighting for reducing energy costs, and on-hill recycling program for guests to reduce their pesonal litter. MaynardClark (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
