The long awaited opening of the ski trails in Methow Valley has launched. There are limited trails open and the coverage is low, but the conditiions are amazing considering how low this snow really is. More snow is needed for a full opening of all the trails, but for now you can start to get in shape if you are not there already, ah that would be me in this category. The sun was out and the landscape is very holiday festive. Loads of skiers out with big smiles on their faces after a very quiet month in the valley. The hub bub is back and so is the fun. Here is a link for more info at Methow Trails.

 Loup Loup Ski Bowl big chair is fixed and back in business. Loup Loup calendar shows that the ski hill will be open for the next two weekends, but let's see if they add some more days to the calendar since the chair was down for quite some time this winter. 

Loup Loup Ski Bowl Big Chair broke early Wednesday moring before anyone got on the chair lift and started skiing. The part is being sought after, but alas there will be no big chair operations this weekend of March 2 and 3, 2019. The hardworking ski patrol volunteers took this oportunity to practice repelling off the chair lift by having a willing victim climb up the chair and then get repelled off with ropes. Great idea gang. Many skiers went over to the little poma and had some fun on the short little poma run. All the nordic trails are groomed too. 

Meanwhile the Methow Valley Sports Trails are in fantastic shape for late winter early spring in Winthrop, Wa, Mazama and Sun Mountain too.  Heading out early in the moring is a good idea because as the temperatures rise above 32 degrees on sunny days...

Sunny skies and gorgeous scenery on the trails with powdery snow conditions. We see yet another change in the Winthrop Washington weather trends to clear sunny skies and cooler temperatures. The skiing continues to be awesome on the Methow Trails and at Loup Loup Ski Bowl.
