Especially over in the Methow, maybe later this season...thanks for the tip on the hot cocoa, a good cuppa is one of life's great pleasures!jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558847401371871909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-44285455093948798972012-01-10T09:12:39.043-08:002012-01-10T09:12:39.043-08:00If you live east of the mountains and prefer x-c s...If you live east of the mountains and prefer x-c skiing, then the quick fix is Leavenworth. Snow is low this year, but they are maintaining trails well. Another fav is Echo Ridge above Lake Chelan, with fantastic views, lots of fun trails and always quiet. For a longer drive, we skied the <br />30K Mazama to Winthrop Community Trail last Saturday. GREAT conditions and incredible hot chocolate at Wisolla (?), the little coffee lodge about 8K into the trip. All great stuff. :)Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-77356176479289689862012-01-10T08:22:50.344-08:002012-01-10T08:22:50.344-08:00Hey TC, I like it, for those who can't get up ...Hey TC, I like it, for those who can't get up and out early, plus the slightly reduced tix price. Thanks!<br /><br />Ron, yes, sometimes spectacular scenery can be a bit too distracting! I'm always challenged to pay attention to what's right in front of me, and skiing demands that.jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558847401371871909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-31506760286229848832012-01-10T04:29:30.566-08:002012-01-10T04:29:30.566-08:00I suppose the distraction of spectacular scenery c...I suppose the distraction of spectacular scenery could be a hazard!Ronhttp://www.ronmitchelladventure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-7435338520827113532012-01-09T09:28:26.637-08:002012-01-09T09:28:26.637-08:00I like the Ski Acres parking lot tip!

No lift lines after 3, and we had the slopes to our selves! 1/2 day tix start at 1, lasts until 5.<br /><br />TCTCnoreply@blogger.com
