This is a snow show that descends from Timberline to Government Camp via the Glade Trail.

The Glade trail was constructed in 1947 as part of the Timberline Lodge complex. It partially adopted the oldest ski trail on Mt Hood, the Blossom Trail, which predated all commercial skiing and which is believed to have supported skiing as early as 1888.

Today, the Glade Trail and Alpine Trail are largely used by skiers and snowboarders from Timberline Resort who use the trails as a convenient way to ski from the resort back down to Government Camp.

The descent on the Glade Trail takes a wide and rolling course. Views are open, and at night, the lights of Ski-Bowl and Government Camp light the way. The trail descends through forest near the Crosstown Trail junction and lets out near Government Camp General Store.
