2016 Mazama X-C Ski Trip

February 9 – 12 the Trekkers made their annual X-C ski pilgrimage to the Methow Valley. Twenty-six of us filled North Cascades BaseCamp to the brim, enjoying days of skiing, snowshoeing and relaxing, and evenings of wonderful dinners, great company, reading, conversation and games. We couldn’t have asked for better conditions…. above freezing during the days and 4 feet of perfect snow.  Glorious! Some folks stayed an extra night to take in the very interesting presentation about how re-introduced wolves are getting along in areas of Washington where sheep and cattle graze. (Actually, the sheep and cattle are faring VERY well!)
