Welcome, Cascade Cross-Country Skiers!
Get out and enjoy the snow with friendly folks in a safe, supportive and non-competitive manner.
Trips with this group will include track skiing, gentle logging roads, rolling tours as well as more demanding mountain tour requiring advanced skiing skills and avalanche safety training. It all depends on the conditions and what people are keen on skiing.
I started cross country sking in the Cascades with my father back in the '70s and love getting out and playing the snow. In addition to numerous day trips. I've done week long tours in the Cascades and in Wyoming's Wind River Range. In recent years I've organized some hut trips in the Wallowa Mtn Range of NE Oregon.
I've helped organize the Washington Alpine Club Wednesday night Telemark series at Snoqualmie Pass the last several years. I like helping other get out and enjoy the snow -- plus it gives me a ready made excuse to ski mid-week.
