The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Comes to Timberline

Timberline — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:54:43 +0000

Timberline Lodge, a National Historic Landmark, was built as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the Great Depression. Seventy three years later, Timberline is once again the recipient of federal recovery dollars, this time to address some aging infrastructure, as well as normal wear and tear on the building. This modern day effort is aimed at preserving Timberline Lodge for generations to come. Federal recovery dollars, which are once again targeted at improving a sluggish economy and providing local jobs, will be spent here this summer on such important projects as repaving the parking lot, replacing windows, rebuilding chimneys, improving public restroom facilities, re-flooring the day lodge, and painting the outside of entire historic lodge.

It has jokingly been said that there are two seasons at Timberline; winter and construction! This may particularly be true this coming summer. If you encounter an unusually busy construction season at Timberline, please keep in mind that you are experiencing preservation in action, and history in the making. Still, your guest experience here is still our primary concern, and we want to assure you that we are working closely with the U.S. Forest Service and their contractors to maintain our full operation and high standards of service. We will work diligently to minimize any inconvenience that might be caused by construction. As specific impacts to our operation develop, we will communicate them on our website, and will make every accommodation possible to you, our guest. We appreciate your understanding during this remarkable historic preservation opportunity, and we welcome any concerns or comments you may have.

Ski The Glade Trail Day 2010

Timberline — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:52:57 +0000

For Immediate Release
For more information contact: Lloyd Musser (503-367-3946)

Government Camp, OR – The Mt. Hood Cultural Center and Museum will hold this annual event on March 6, 2010. Once a year, under 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. Before the advent of high speed ski lifts, highly groomed slopes and extreme snowboard acrobatics, skiing long trails was popular. According to Lloyd Musser, Museum Curator, “ this event helps fulfill or 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.”

Participants are treated to a red carpet day of skiing. Skiers are shuttled to Timberline in comfortable airport shuttle vans, escorted by local guides and senior members of the Mt. Hood Ski Patrol, and served a hearty lunch. 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 Apre’s ski party, where prizes are awarded. Wearing vintage ski clothing is encouraged.

Participation is limited to 75 skiers. Event tickets are $100.00 per person, a portion of which is deductible as a donation to the MHCC&M, a non-profit organization. Members of Mt. Hood Cultural Center & Museum receive 10% discount. Tickets may be purchased at the museum, or by calling 503-272-3301. Visa is accepted.

Background information on Mt. Hood trail skiing is available on our webpage in an article entitled Trail skiing on Mt. Hood a Long Standing Tradition. www.mthoodmuseum.org

Photographs from past years events are available on the website or upon request.
