Cross-country Ski - Methow Valley Winter Trails

We will meet at one of the trailheads at 9:00am at either Cub Creek, Mazama, or Sun Mountain.

This day 1 0d a 3-day cross country ski trip (Wednesday-Friday) in the Methow Valley. Trips offered will be easy (green0 to moderate (blue) depending on the skill level of the participants registering and will range from 10-12 miles beginning from either the Cub Creek trailhead, the Mazama trailhead, or the Chickadee trailhead (Sun Mountain).

Linda Shewey will also be leading cross country ski trips here during this time and we will coordinate our rosters to determine the best trails and participants fit for each day.

These trips are not suitable for first time Nordic skiers: even those with Alpine ski experience. Participants should be able to navigate 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 skies preferred.

The Methow Valley is roughly 250 miles and 3-4 hours from Seattle. You have the option to carpool or provide your own transportation and lodging in Winthrop or elsewhere in the Methow Valley.
