Ski
Trips survey.
We
need your
opinions.
Please
participate in
this
14-question
survey about
our club's ski
trips.
Tell us your
trip
preferences
and help us to
shape future
club trips. We
set up an online
survey using
Survey Gizmo.
If you get a
privacy or
security
warning, that
is simply due
to your own
security
settings,
which might be
too
strict.
Feel free to
ignore any
such alert for
this
survey.
But, if you
feel uneasy
about the
online
version, feel
free to fill
out the same
survey by
printing the Word

 Kenny
Brundidge,
our club's
mid-week
skiing
coordinator,
has died in a
tree well
accident at
Mt. Bachelor,
on Friday,
March 1,
2019. He
was skiing west
of the Sparks
Lake Run, in
terrain served
by the
Northwest
Express lift.
He fell into a
tree well and
suffocated.
His companions
waited for him
at the bottom
of the
lift.
When he didn't
show up, they
went back to
the area they
had just skied
to look for
him, but
didn't find
him. A
couple of
snowboarders
found him a
short time
later, but he
could not be
revived.
Our
condolences to
Kenny's wife,
family, and
friends. Kenny
was a great
guy and an
excellent
skier.
Everyone liked
him. We will
miss him.
His
celebration of
life /
memorial
service will
be:
Saturday, March 23rd at 3:00 pm.

to maintain a
competitive
advantage.
Racers can
drop their

training
nights and
pick them up

This is a

everybody. By

NOTE
TO NEWCOMERS
Our club provides numerous
activities in the following
categories. Most of them
have their own separate pages on
our web site:
a) Day trips to Mt.
Hood ski areas
(both weekend and mid-week) –
currently on the
TRIPS page..
b) Ski trips
to other ski areas in the
West -- see
TRIPS page.
c) Recreational
racing –
RACING pages.
d) Social events,
parties, etc. – on
the
HOME page.
e) Summer
activities (Biking,
Hiking, Rafting,
Picnic, etc.) – usually
on our
HOME page.
Our Home page is mainly a calendar
of events and a place to post
social events that don't have
their own separate pages, such as
Trips and Racing events
do.
To get a better view of what our
club does, please check the
ABOUT US page and the
PHOTOS page, which
shows almost everything we did in
the past year(s). Each season, we
start to build a new Photos page,
so if you are checking us out at
the beginning of the season, check
out one of the previous year's
Photos page, which will be more
complete.

16th
annual
Ski
the Historic Glade Trail Day
March 2, 2019 (Saturday)
Once
a year opportunity to ski the 3.0
mile historic Glade Trail. A full
day of red carpet skiing,
including groomed trail, guides,
lunch, airport style shuttles,
Apre's ski wine party, prizes and
more.
Reserve
your tickets at 503-272-3301.
The
Mt. Hood Cultural Center and
Museum in Government Camp
holds this annual event on the first
Saturday in March, by special permit
from the US Forest Service. The
historic Glade Ski Trail is opened
and groomed for this participatory
living history event. This once
popular downhill ski trail starts at
Timberline Lodge and ends in
Government Camp, a distance of three
miles.
With
multiple shuttle bus ride back up to
Timberline, if you are ambitious,
you can easily ski 21 miles over the
course of the day.
Once
a year, on the first Saturday in
March the historic Glade Trail is
groomed courtesy of Timberline Lodge
for this annual living history day
of skiing the way it used to be on
Mount Hood.
Participants
in the event receive shuttle
transportation to Timberline, ski
the trail with friends, and meet the
bus at the foot of the trail to run
back up to the top.
When
you’re ready for a break, drop by
the museum for a hot lunch
featuring homemade gourmet soups and
other great foods. The day concludes
with a reception at the museum that
includes beverages
and hor d’oeuvres.
Ski the Glade is an annual tradition
at the museum, held every year on
the first Saturday in March.
Timberline Lodge, an event sponsor,
grooms the Glade Trail for the day
providing great terrain for skiers
and boarders.
Years ago, the Glade Trail was
regularly groomed, providing a long
loop for skiers or a route down the
mountain at the end of the day. Many
people in Northwest Oregon have fond
memories of days spent skiing the
Glade Trail.
Tickets for the all-day event are
$100 for museum members and $125 for
nonmembers, who will receive a
year’s membership to the museum
along with the ticket purchase. The
price of the ticket includes use
of the shuttle, lunch,
apres-ski reception
and a couple of beverage
tickets. Only 75 tickets
are available for the event.
To purchase tickets for Ski the
Glade, contact the Mt. Hood Museum
at 503-272-3301 or email info@mthoodmuseum.org
The
Glade Trail was built by the
US Forest Service in 1937 as part of
the Timberline Lodge ski complex.
The trail roughly follows the route
of the original Blossom Trail,
dating to 1888 or earlier. Before
the advent of ski lifts, highly
groomed slopes, and extreme
snowboard acrobatics, skiing long
trails was popular. Skiing consisted
of either jumping or trail skiing.
Trail skiers climbed on skis
equipped with climbing skins to the
Timberline Lodge area and skied back
to Government Camp.
According
to Lloyd Musser, Museum
Curator, “this event helps fulfill
our mission of preserving and
interpreting the history of Mt.
Hood. This is a chance for
Grandparents to ski with their
grandchildren and share the memories
of skiing the Glade Trail, when it
was the biggest ski adventure on Mt.
Hood.”
Shuttles
will run from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
allowing ticket holders to make
several trail runs. The events of
the day are recounted at the Apres
ski party, where prizes are awarded.
Wearing vintage ski clothing is
encouraged.
Participation is limited to 75
skiers.
Tickets
may be purchased at the museum, or
by calling 503-272-3301.
Visa is accepted.
