Ski
the Historic
Glade
Trail
March 4 (Saturday)
This will be the 21st annual Glade
Trail Day. This is the only day in the
whole year that the trail is groomed
from Timberline to Government
Camp. Timberline Lodge, an event
sponsor, grooms the Glade Trail prior
to the event to ensure there's great
terrain for all participants.
Hosted by the Mt. Hood
Cultural Center & Museum,Ski
the Glade offers skiers and
snowboarders an opportunity to take
advantage of three and a half miles of
unbroken, mountain terrain. This
unique event combines participatory
living history and fund raising, for
the operation of the non-profit
museum. Guides and Ski Patrol services
will be available to keep everyone
safe.
This year, the annual tradition will
be held Saturday, March 4, 2023
beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at
around 4:00 p.m.
Tickets for the
all-day event will be $185 for museum
members and $195 for non-museum
members. Only 75 tickets will be sold.
To make your reservation and purchase
your ticket, call the museum at: (503)
272-3301.
The ticket price includes breakfast
snacks, lunch, an apres-ski party,
door prizes and an unlimited number of
shuttle bus rides back up to
Timberline during the day.
After beginning the day at the museum
with a continental breakfast,
participants receive shuttle
transportation to Timberline, ski the
trail at their leisure, and meet the
bus at the end of the trail to return
to the top.
When ready for a break, attendees can
drop by the museum for a hot lunch
featuring homemade gourmet soups and
delicious accompaniments. All
shuttles stop at the Museum, so you
can take a break at any time.
Throughout the day, participants are
encouraged to wear vintage ski
clothing. At day's end, an apres-ski
party will include beverages, snacks
and prizes for those dressed in the
best vintage ski wear. |
