Skiing in Methow Valley!

Having missed the rain (snow would have been OK) by a few days, we arrived to mild temperatures and mostly blue skies.  The Methow Trails System encompasses over 100 miles of groomed trails, most of which were in good shape considering the rain and warm temperatures.  The base diminished at about an inch a day during the 8 days we skied but still plenty of coverage in 95% of the areas we skied. I was relieved to know I still can skate ski and thankful to take advantage of the new heated wax hut at the Winthrop end of the trail system. It's a long drive, but very much worth it.  On two different days, I ran into some friends from Seattle, Bill & Sheri, and Lissa, a cycling buddy.  I think everyone we spoke to was from Seattle, except us.
