This is day 4 of a long cross-country ski weekend (Fri-Mon) in the Methow Valley.  

These trips are not suitable for first time Nordic skiers: even those with Alpine ski experience. Participants should be able to navigate small hills that will require wedge brake and turn to descend and herringbone to ascend some sections. A good standard of fitness and stamina is required.  Classic waxless skis preferred.

  The Methow Valley is roughly 250 miles and 4 - 5 hours from Seattle. You will need to provide your own transportation and lodging in Winthrop or elsewhere in the Methow Valley .

This activity will follow the Mountaineers  guidelines for COVID-19 that apply on the date of this trip.

All participants will be required to have a face covering ready to pull up at the trailhead, and will be asked to be familiar with and follow the Mountaineers Covid-19 guidelines for trip.

For the group's safety, every participant is asked to commit to conservative covid behavior  prior to the trip
