Sepia-toned photo of the tiled compass rose on the floor of Timberline Lodge’s entryway, with the letter “N” for north in the foreground leading toward wooden double doors and stone walls in the background.

3 / Floor Compass

Inside the front entrance, the helpful floor compass by Pete Ferrarin, is a marble mosaic of brass and tile in cement. His son, Mario, restored it in 1979 after thousands of ski boots over time had damaged it beyond repair. During a 1983 remodel, rust tiles were added to highlight the lodge’s natural earth setting. Our lodge has curved lobby layouts that feature hand-adzed beams and columns of timber harvested from this site. Masoned stone, hand-forged iron and enormous wood planks secure a wonderful visual pace for your visit.
