Mazama is snow country but the problem was this year there had been little snow. That is until a few days before we were scheduled to leave. The passes were iffy and winter storm warnings were posted. We almost cancelled.
We got an early start and headed for Steven's Pass with little company on the road.
Once over in eastern WA the roads were better until we approached the Methow Valley.
Nevertheless we made the trip in 5 hrs 15mins. Not bad for the conditions arriving at Basecamp midafternoon.
In the past few days they had received over 4' of snow. It was absolutely beautiful!
The first morning Steve took us snowshoeing around their 20 acres. The next day we drove to a trailhead and went by ourselves. Snow continued to fall throughout our stay.
Kim and Steve were super hosts making all their guests feel welcomed and comfortable. They are a super team and very busy running the lodge and parenting 9yr old Amelia and 6 yr old Emmett.
Kim is looking up a recipe and Steve is taking our muffins he just made for breakfast.
We had a super time at a cozy spot with tons of snow in beautiful country. We look forward to returning.
