Farewell to Lloyd Musser - former curator of the Mt. Hood Museum in Government Camp
/Lloyd Musser passed away on March 1, 2025, on the same day that the "Ski the Glade Trail Day was happening, the event that Lloyd helped create about 22 years ago.
The picture is of Lloyd during the Glade Trail Day in 2007, skiing from Timberline to Government Camp along the Glade Trail.
Lloyd was a kind man and well loved by all who knew him. He suffered from Parkinson's disease for a number of years, but seemed to cope well. However, the death of his wife Mo several months earlier devastated him and may have contributed to his own passing away to be with her.
He left behind his daughter Katie and several grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held at some point. The date is yet to be announced. Katie is suggesting donations to the Museum in lieu of flowers.
Mountain High Snowsport Club and the Mt. Hood Museum have several mutual relationships. For example:
Several club members are also members of the Museum.
Mountain High as a whole is a Museum member.
Mountain HIgh has a display case as a permanent exhibit at the Museum.
The Museum is a member of the Northwest Ski Club Council (NWSCC).
Here are some quotes from a few people touched by Lloyd.
"So sorry to hear about Lloyd. But what a tribute to him that it was on such a beautiful day, during the Glade Trail day, one of the events that supported the Museum for so many years! Please keep everyone advised of the celebration, as there are so many who were touched by Lloyd."

"I know that Lloyd and Mo were looking down on us Saturday, smiling and holding hands. Everything went so smoothly. It was a beauty of a day! It will be hard not to forget the day he left this world as he & Mo loved Ski The Glade, creating it as a living history event. We will be sure to keep you informed of any future plans to honor him."
