It’s Nearly Here, Ski the Glade on Mt. Hood, March 1, 2025

Feb 3, 2025

By Meredith Frigaard, The Mountain Times

For 23 years, the Mt. Hood Cultural Center and Museum has hosted “Ski The Glade” as a living history event. This downhill ride has been a popular activity for over 100 years. It allows skiers and boarders to take advantage of three miles of groomed mountain terrain. The trail begins at Timberline Ski Area and ends in Government Camp. On this special day, participants ride shuttle buses from the end of the trail back to Timberline, skiing as many laps as they wish.
Under a permit from the US Forest Service, the trail is groomed by Timberline Lodge. Skiers and boarders enjoy a full day of skiing and are accompanied by local guides and the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol. A continental breakfast starts the day at 8:30 a.m. Shuttle buses operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A delicious lunch is offered at the Mt. Hood Museum & Cultural Center from 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. An apres-ski reception concludes the day with beverages and door prizes.
This year, wear your favorite retro ski gear – wool knickers, Kangaroo-pocket windbreakers, neon, one-piece suits, wind-shirts — be creative. Come prepared to tell a story! Win the prize for “Best Outfit and Story of the Day.”
Contact the museum to purchase tickets: (503) 272-3301. A limited number of tickets will be sold. Prices: Museum members: $150 each, Non-Members: $150 + Membership (Individual membership = $30), Non-Skiers: $75, Youth (12 and younger): $75 each.
The Mt. Hood Cultural Center & Museum preserves and showcases the rich history of Mt. Hood through interpretive exhibits and educational programs. The museum features six galleries that highlight the history of the mountain’s early exploration, winter sports, settlement, and natural history. It is in the center of Government Camp, and operates the Mt. Hood Information Center and a unique gift shop, open seven days a week.
