This weekend MVSTA is hosting the Methow Valley Pursuit – two days of Nordic ski races. Today is a skate race with skiers going the 30k from Mazama to Winthrop. It is a slow course today with lots of new snow and more falling during the race. Yesterday was the classic race that began and ended at Winthrop’s Town Trailhead. During the race I helped with traffic control where the trail crosses Twin Lakes Road. In between cars, I made a few images.
Nicely groomed trails ready for racers and other skiers
This fellow biked up from town
He just wanted to go skiing. The course was open to any skiers – we just asked that they watch out for the racers
And off he goes
Lots of really excellent racers in this field
Great fashions
All ages
And always – having fun!
