Timberline lodge is going to offer a package for this event . . .

Are they planning on something all inclusive for the dates of the Jamboree? Just rooms or rooms and meal vouchers (if buffet style for our group)?

What are the regular room rates there? Lot's of questions, but I'm searching to see if I can make this work. But it's like looking for hen's teeth without actually trying to book a room (which won't work until August 1st)!

Thanks!
 
timberline will have a number of different packages available, should have a date soon to start signing up, let me know if i can do anything to make it work for you.

We will be operating under the permit for the ski area operator RLK and Co. So no ATV permit will be required. However the Cat's Meow Jamboree will be during the season requiring a Snow Park permit. They will be available at Timberline Lodge if you do not have one. I believe that there is reciprocity between other states. Look it up.

Good stuff thanks I was wondering about that
 
He'll be able to do a daily commute from his house in his Snowtrac!

I'm guessing there is still a glitch in their system since the only options are for the Gov. Camp Condos?

yup, we found this glitch also and have informed timber of the issued, it will be fixed asap jinn and scott
 
Kind of 'spendy'!. Got my reservation, but it cost right at twice as much as an efficiency apartment with a kitchen, a fireplace, Washer & Dryer, at Whistler village, and that had a porch with a view of the slopes!
Hmmmmm,....
 
Maybe it's one of those deals like we get at Boeing or for BP: " Special for you today,... 200% of what any other jocker off the street would have to pay", Used to get that working for the government too once in awhile.
 
I got this from a member after reservations were made.
having seconds thoughts myself. could be one less snow trac on that hill.

" All this was the hotel, and it's about 250$ a night!"

Maybe that price includes food, fuel and booze!!!!!!! In that case not too bad of a price otherwise a basic room on the mountain at $250.00 will limit participants.

Room rates for groups in the Big Horn Mountains of WY at most of the resorts will drop from about $129.00ish a night to $75.00 a night for a larger group discount. Looks like you are headed in at a slower time of the year so I think a discount would be in order. I will stay home at my mountain home and enjoy a non expensive week of sun and snow without the crowds and cook my own filet.

For anyone interested the newly opened and completely remodeled Meadowlark Lake Resort opened July 4th of this after a long closure. The new owners did a great job on the restaurant/lodge area remodel. If you are headed to the Big Horns for snowmobiling or snow catting this gives you more choice with many added room accommodations on the mountain. I ate the highest price meal on the menu last Sunday at $36.00 and it was excellent. I was a bit concerned about it when I ordered it but I may go back this weekend and order the same meal if available. I never complain about the price of a good meal but if you pay for crap food that is another story. :biggrin:
 
I haven't made reservations yet, but $250/night doesn't sound out of line for Timberline Lodge. It has been a few years since we stayed there, but my recollection is that we paid $200+ for a room. It is a pretty cool old building and I imagine the costs of running it are fairly high. Still, if you're not willing/able to plunk down the cash then I'd hope that you could stay down the hill in Government Camp or Sandy and just come up for the day -- this sounds like an event you wouldn't want to miss.

hello to all, the thinking was, to have a on mountain experience at a understanding quality resort, a once in a lifetime moment, I am sorry that we were not able to this at a lower cost, remember you will be able to walk out of the lodge and jump right in your machine and enjoy a fabulous day on mt hood, please keep in mind, Timberline Lodge and Mt Hood is a special place and the people at Timberline have gone out of their way to make this available to us, and the rates are what they are, sorry, this is the best that could be done, even with the personal relationship with the operator of Timberline Lodge. I do hope this helps to explain the situation and for that do attend, it will be a memory for a lifetime. hope to see you all there even if you come just for the day. thank you jinn and scott
 
I'M DONE! Winning and complaining! I for one want to thank Scott & Jinn for all their efforts for setting this up. Thisk about it,.. this is a once in a lifetime "Gig". You get to take your snow cat on to an actual ski area, a famous one at that, at a famous mountain, one of the highest in North America. This is as the kids would say:"WAY COOL!
I took my old red 63 ST4 to: Crater Lake, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, and Yellowstone Park, an if I still had it I would certainly be taking it here. As it is I no longer own an ST4, so I'm either going to rope a friend who has one into going and if needs be haul it there for him, or bring the Tucker 544. I might even try to stuff 2 ST4's on to this custom Tucker Snow cat trailer just to see if it can be done!

Yes, its spendy.
But it's Timberline, beyond awesome.
Every time I see that hill the air leaves my lungs momentarily.
We'll be snowboarding and skiing too, more $ for that.
May never happen again.
We will be there even if we have to camp in the parking lot,
as we have done many times for summer skiing.
Only regret will be not bringing a snowcat....no truck to haul one with.
But we've got our climbing skins.
And maybe someday well get permission to set the worlds record longest portable rope tow there.
-Pat
 
thank you for the support, and for those not bringing a cat, i will have several that i am willing let others use and enjoy. please contact me via pm and we will make it happen.
regards jinn
 
yes there is, and if needed i will find the name and number for you, also, several budget priced motels within 50 miles of timberline and you could do motor home in the lower parking lot.
 
Sorry that I have not posted. Last night we had lightening all night and it started at least 4 fires. One was on our place. Jinn came out as we were going to work on Tuckers and she and I put on our hardhats and Nomex. I got hounded for hauling the freighter behind the orange suburban, check out hauling the 450 JD. for fire work.

Yes, Timberline is spendy, but a bargain for the experience. In 60+ years, I have never seen the opportunity for people to run their snow cats on the upper mountain and it may not happen again. We will be looking at this Jamboree as our vacation for the year and bite the bullet.

I look forward to seeing all of you next April,

Scott

Redrum!
I am looking forward to seeing any and all at Timberline!! I do not normally stay at Hotels that cost this much, but I also do not normally get to stay at a National historic landmark where i can bring and drive a snow machine and get to hang out with people who share this obsession ;) I seriously doubt there would be any opportunities available in the future to enjoy such an extraordinairy and historic location- the history of the Timberline is rich and famous and will be a story to share even if you stay off the mountain please try to put this on your bucket list... get a photo with some great machines and have a great time with people who your wife thinks are as crazy as you ;)
And if anyone want to see room 217... I have the key and will provide the axe for photos. ;)
Thank you Jinn and Scott, I look forward to this like a kid to Christmas.

Gonna have give this some serious thought about staying there . If we make it over I might just make it a day trip . Menu is nice but a little classy for my likes .I can see some serious money being spent . Wife wants Europe for two months next year which would be when this is happening .
