In 2018, R.L.K, and Company, who own Timberline Lodge Ski Area, purchased Summit Ski Area for an undisclosed sum. In 2019, Timberline submitted a master development plan to the U.S. Forest Service, detailing proposed upgrades to the ski area, including a gondola connecting it to Timberline Lodge and an upgraded boundary area and lift. On October 1, 2021, the ski area officially became part of Timberline.[1]
