If the Timberline ski area's plans go through, next summer mountain bikers will be able to bomb down miles of new trails on Mount Hood, load their bikes onto the Jeff Flood Express chairlift and ride again.
Timberline's proposal, which the U.S. Forest Service opened for public comment this week, also includes a mountain biking "skills park" near the Wy'East Day Lodge with jumps, boardwalks, see-saws and ramps.
