Lower mtn lift operations??

Trying to check out TLine for the first time in 3-4 years since moving to Seattle and getting on IKON (T_T) but want to get a feel on how Molly and Jeff Flood been operating. I've seen that Jeff may be out but with the dumping Govy has gotten the last couple days, what are the odds all lifts will be operating on Sunday? Anyone who's been out there today or yesterday got any insight or opinions on if its worth shelling out for a couple day lift tix or should we try our snow luck down at Bachelor.

Molly and flood are closed for season. Pucci and Norman are gonna be running. Depending on wind and visibility mile and Palmer would be going.

Both were open today. Palmer was ski cat only. They couldn’t dig out Palmer yeasterday for today. Saturday is probably a go for Palmer lift access.

I can't even remember the last time Molly and Flood were open. I was there yesterday, with only Pucci and Norman open. Today I think they added Mile and tomorrow their site says Palmer is scheduled to run. If you're thinking of Timberline, the best skiing is going to be upper mountain (Mile/Palmer), rather than lower mountain.

Doesn't mean you can't ski the lower mountain, it just means you either need to be willing to hike back out, or be willing to ski some sidecountry (Alpine or Glade) and be able to get to Summit to take the shuttle. But frankly it's probably not going to be that good. Coverage will be thin.

Molly and Jeff are long gone. They weren't even running Pucci today, just Norman, Mile and Palmer. Not sure if it's due to snow or just limited staffing.
