What a Wild Night

Here is a priceless photo of the fun we had at the Wenatchee Wild game.
The MVSTA team headed down to promote the Methow Olympic Festival. The Wenatchee Wild will be making an appearance at the Methow Olympic Festival. We learned last night that the Wild will probably hit our ice in full gear. We better tighten up the boards! By the way the Wild won last night's game 6-4.

Take a Seat

Take a seat, enjoy the ride, the snow has arrived.

We are Wild about the Wenatchee Wild

Our favorite hockey team, the Wenatchee Wild are having a great season! We are excited to attend their next home game October 30th when the Wild take on Wichita Falls at 7:05pm. MVSTA will be at the game promoting Methow Valley winter events and helping our friends at E3NCW announce their Olympic Army. Join us for the fun!
The Wenatchee Wild will also be making an appearance at the Winthrop Ice Rink Saturday,February 13th. Go Wild!

1st the Funding, then the Fun!

Thank you! to everyone who responded to our September post regarding Washington Trails Association's need for matching funds for a National Forest Foundation Grant that will be used to improve trail conditions in the Methow Valley. WTA is pleased to announce that they made their $10,000 goal. Work has already begun on Methow Valley trails. A Volunteer Vacation crew recently returned from the Billy Goat Trail in the Pasayten where they spent a week rebuilding a bridge, building a turnpike and improving the tread. Volunteers also just completed a new single stringer log bridge on the Lone Fir Interpretive Trail. As every non-profit knows,these milestones can only happen with your generous financial support. Thank you for supporting our friends at the Washington Trails Association in this mission. All of the Methow Valley will benefit from this support.

1st Dog Pass of the Season

Congratulations to "HENRY" for purchasing the first dog trail pass of the season.New this year, your best friend can also sport a MVSTA ski trail pass. Show your support for MVSTA dog trails by purchasing a $35 annual Doggie Ski Pass. We will not pull you off the dog trails if your pooch decides to ski for free however the snow and grooming gods will cooperate just a little bit more when your beloved canine is donning the MVSTA Doggie Ski Pass. Contact the MVSTA office to purchase your dog pass. Thank you HENRY!
