Three distinct Nordic skiing areas, Sun Mountain, Mazama and Rendezvous, are connected by the Methow Community Trail. A pass purchased for one area will work for all three and the trail. Half day, three-day, season and lifetime passes can be purchased from selected retail outlets and most lodging establishments. Rental huts, capable of housing eight people and featuring propane heat, lights and wood stoves, are available along Nordic trails for overnight stays in the Methow Valley. The Rendezvous Huts Inc. huts allow skiers to spend the night in comfort along the trails, he said.
Beginners can find ski lessons and equipment rentals at various outlets.
Popular cross country areas also can be found in the Wenatchee National Forest near Chelan and in the Highlands near Republic. All contents copyright 2000-2001, The Chronicle , Omak, WA 98841, a division of Eagle Newspapers, Inc., unless otherwise noted. All rights reserved.
