NORDIC SKIING — Time to brag: My visits to trout streams have ended weeks of good fishing; showing up at a campsites brought in hail storms.
But my Friday effort to ski with family 6 miles into the wood-heated Rendezvous Hut for a three-day overnight up in the Methow Valley lured in a near white-out snowfall. In less than two hours as we skied, the high country was smothered in 5 inches of beautiful new snow for our visit.
Yes!
STEELHEAD anglers were hitting most of the hot spots on the Methow River while I was diving back to Spokane on Sunday.
