Originally known as Glebe Mountain when it opened as a small Borvig t-bar served ski area in 1963, Timber Ridge became a larger chairlift-served ski area in 1972.
Though expansions were attempted in the early 1980s, the ski area struggled and eventually closed. It was then purchased by and connected to Magic Mountain in 1987, operating under the name of "Timberside."
Magic Mountain went bankrupt in 1991 and would remained closed for much of the decade. Though Magic Mountain proper would reopen, Timberside did not.
In recent years, there has been a slow, but gradual effort underway to reopen Timber Ridge as a small, standalone area.
