Methow Olympic Festival Feb 12-28th
“The best place to be during the 2010 Winter Games for Olympic enthusiasts who want to do more than just watch!
Enjoy a Washington State Olympic experience– Methow Valley Style! Experience the Olympic activities of Nordic skiing, ice skating, hockey, biathlon, alpine skiing and snowboarding - all while being surrounded by the Winter Olympic Spirit.”
The goal of the festival is to offer locals and visitors alike a chance to feel genuine Olympic excitement without the cost or stress of traveling to the event itself in Vancouver B.C.
Participatory and spectator events are scheduled daily during the two week extravaganza- some traditional, like the 30K timed freestyle ski race from Mazama to Winthrop, some less traditional- like the snowshoe softball tournament, doggie dash, or cattle roping on skis.
Try your hand at the biathlon or watch your children get free cross country ski and ice skating lessons. From fireworks to torchlight skiing, Olympic events on the big screen at a pub to snow shoe wildlife tours- there is something for all ages, interests, and fitness levels during the two week Methow Valley Olympic Festival.
Come visit us and get fired up about the Olympics like you never have before. For a complete event’s calendar, visit the Methow Valley Sports Trail Association website.
