MVSTA Staff Fat Bike Outing
The MVSTA office headed up to Washington Pass for a fat bike outing. First stop was Methow Cycle and Sport to pick up our rental Salsa Mukluks.
We highly recommend that people give it a try. Again, Salsa Mukluks are available for rent at Methow Cycle and Sport. Two free snow bike demos are planned for December 16 and January 13 on the MVSTA ski trails.
For more information about this year's snow bike program please see our website "Where to Snow Bike" page.
Conditions were fabulous with 8-10 inches of new snow at Rainy Pass.

For some of this it was the first time we have been on a fat bike. It was all smiles from the start.
For all of us it was the first time we have ridden in the snow! It is surprisingly easy.
We laughed, we worked up a big sweat and we had a fantastic day.
We highly recommend that people give it a try. Again, Salsa Mukluks are available for rent at Methow Cycle and Sport. Two free snow bike demos are planned for December 16 and January 13 on the MVSTA ski trails.
