Rendezvous Outfitters offers hut skiing along the trail system provided by the Methow Valley Sport Trail Association. They also offer lodging, food and restrooms.
This section of the MVSTA system is steeper than most other sections, with no beginner trails. It wanders through ponderosa forests and offers numerous views. Make prior arrangements to spend the night in a hut. If you think the idea of staying in a hut ranks right up there with cleaning toilets, then try Sun Mountain Lodge, also part of the MVSTA and much cooshier.
