Also was interested to hear about the Timberline Lodge. Did not know
that
was the Shining exterior shot. It'd be cool to stay there for a night
or two.

Timberline Lodge is also on Mount Hood. Meadows is on the east side of
the mtn, Timberline on the south. They typically have a good terrain
park and halfpipe, and that's about it, during the winter. Their main
attraction is summer riding and skiing - in a good snow year their
season is 50 weeks long (closed for 2 weeks in September for
maintenance)

You can see the lodge and ride at Mt Hood Meadows in the same day.
Riding at Timberline is not recommended if you're visiting from far
away - unless, that is, you just want to hang in the park/pipe all day,
or if you ride alpine and the top lift (Palmer) is open.
