 (Submitting this form will send your responses using your default email program.) 
a) Your Name:
b) Your Age:
c) Do you reside in Oregon? Yes     No     Other
d) Your Gender:
e) In what season do you visit Timberline Lodge most often? Winter     Summer    
f) Would you contribute money to build the Winter Entry? Yes     No    
g) How do you feel about the current �Quonset Hut� winter entry at Timberline Lodge? How does it affect the historic qualities of this National Historic Landmark?
h) When compared with other additions and modifications that have occurred over time, do you believe that the proposed design as a temporary Winter entry affects the integrity of the Lodge�s design or workmanship in different ways? In what way?
i) The Secretary of Interior Standards recommends that new additions to historic structures be distinguishable in design from the original. Do you think the proposed Winter Entry, as a modern design set against a historic backdrop, is compatible with the setting of the Lodge or its association with the mountain?
j)  Within days of the Lodge first opening for business in February 1938, snow accumulation at the entrance was identified as a serious problem and the Forest Service suggested a �tunnel of some sort� be constructed. Actual tunnels through the snow and a variety of constructed structures have been used since. How successful do you think the proposed design meets the intent of the 1938 concept of a �tunnel of some sort�?
k) What was your reaction when you saw the proposed design for the first time? Is your reaction different now that the design concept has been explained?
l) In one word or a phrase, what does the proposed design remind you of?
m) If you were taking relatives or out-of-town friends, for their first visit to the Lodge and entered the Lodge through this proposed entry, how would you explain it to them?
n) Do you have specific ideas on how to modify the proposed design to better capture the stated intent of the concept? What are they and why would they be important?
 Thank you for the submission of your comments!
