December 28–January 2, Mon. – Sat
All Ability Skate and Track Ski
Methow Valley is an outstanding, unique area that is ideally suited for both classic track skiing and skate skiing. The Methow valley association grooms over 200 kilometers of trail through the communities of Winthrop and Mazama. Trail elevations range from 2000 to 4000 feet. The snow conditions and trail quality makes the Methow valley a skate skier’s Mecca. The recent fires in the area did NOT affect the Methow Valley and they are ready for our visit!
We’ll stay in luxury condominiums in Winthrop with full accommodations. Plan for potluck dinners that we prepare in the fully equipped kitchens. Restaurants are always an option and are within skiing distance along with grocery and convenience stores.
If you have considered learning to skate ski, lessons are available at Sun Mountain and in Mazama. In the past, several participants liked their new-found skill so much they decided to keep the rented skate skis for the entire trip. Speaking of skating, there is even an ice skating rink in town.
