Long weekends from my kids bite, however filling the weekend with lots of physical activity and good friends help!
We did our annual friends Methow weekend at the perfect time, by the time we got here on Friday they had a base of 32" and another 13" in the last two days. So much fabulous snow!
Started the weekend and Valentines day at our usual meet up, the Twisp River Pub
Did a 25k trek on Saturday that required a hot chocolate stop at our favorite place Kelly's, mid way.
Jason, Rick and Scott carried on even further, into semi un groomed territory for another 20k.
Sunday a smaller group of us ambitiously took off in all the fresh snow, only to realize about 15k into the ski that some trails weren't being groomed that day. A little back tracking, then a 1.9k inevitable trek through an un groomed cutoff lead us back to another trail.....we started referring to this trek as "the Donner party". It was an adventure to say the least and more of a workout than any of us anticipated!
This is after going through 5k of Jacks Trail which all the snow from the trees were dumping on us and covering the groomed trail...work is what that was. At this point were we so happy to see the meadow and hopefully have smooth skiing the rest if the way....
A little later
Happy to say we made it out, met with the rest and recovered nicely at Old School House Brewery
