Christmas Week

Christmas week is upon us. Mother Nature has not been overly generous with snow, but where the trails are groomed the skiing is good. Most of the trails around Sun Mountain Lodge, in Mazama and on the Cub Creek side of the Rendezvous are open. We received a dusting of new snow last night, the clouds are moving out and the sun is coming. Check the web cam and the mvsta grooming report for updates. Lots of holiday happenings over the next 2 weeks at Sun Mountain. We are hosting the Methow Valley Nordic Ski Team's annual ski-with-santa outing this afternoon. Tomorrow evening the Cascadia Choir sings in the lobby at 5pm. Check out our home page on the website for further details. Happy Holidays.

More New Snow

We received about 2 more inches of new snow last night. And it is snowing lightly now. Looking very White Christmas-like out there. Don Portman, our Director of Skiing, was out classic skiing on Little Wolf yesterday afternoon and said it was good. No classic tracks set yet, but hopefully soon. He ran into Laura McCabe, ex-U.S. Olympic skier, who was teaching a clinic for the Methow Nordic Club.
