  INN AT MAZAMA, Mazama, Washington

  Sunday, January 26 to Friday, January 31, 2025 (Five Nights)

  Registration Opens:  September 29, 2024

  Registration Closes:  October 28, 2024

   
  

  CONC has been going to the quaint Inn at Mazama for many years.  It is conveniently located right on the Methow Valley ski trails, and just a few yards from the Mazama Store.  This puts us at the western edge of the Methow Valley trails, about 20 miles NW of Winthrop, WA on Highway 20.

  The Inn and the Methow Valley are a perfect setting for a CONC excursion.  The Inn is a combination of a lodge and two adjacent clusters of guest rooms.  Besides the 10 guest rooms, the lodge consists of a large dining room adjacent to a huge, Russian fireplace and warming room where we gather to socialize and drink warm beverages in the mornings and a glass of wine or beer in the evenings before sitting down for a group meal.  Some of the rooms are located within the lodge while others are accessed by a covered boardwalk in two clusters just beyond the hot tub.

  The town of Mazama is very small, consisting of the amazing Mazama Store, a clothing store, a ski school, and a few other lodging venues.  It has everything we need to enjoy over 200 km of groomed XC ski trails!

  The trails are arranged in roughly five groups:  Sun Mountain, Rendezvous, Winthrop, Big Valley and Mazama & Upper Valley trails. We typically ski out the door of the Inn for Upper Valley trails and those around Mazama.  Often, we will drive down towards Sun Mountain or Rendezvous for a day.  Some people like to ski the 19 miles from Mazama to Winthrop!  A pass is required to ski the Methow Valley trails at $30 per day with a discount for a multi-day purchase. Find all the trails maps at methowtrails.org.
  

  The plan is for our group to arrive on Sunday afternoon, January 26^th.  Ski activities will commence on Monday the 27^th.  The last group ski activities will be on Thursday, January 30^th but you can ski on Friday the 31^st as well before heading home if you like.  As per normal CONC custom, we will facilitate car-pooling.

  MEALS:

The meal plan cost is $487.80 per person and includes tax and gratuities.  Local caterer, Kathy, along with Inn manager, Andy, will be preparing delicious breakfasts and dinners. Lunch will be on your own. You can either bring lunch items, or the Mazama Store makes sandwiches as well.

  X-C Downhill at Hoodoo
  

  This clinic is for anyone wanting to continue to progress your skills, especially working on better ski control in the downhill mode.  Coaches will work on a progression to include: Basic Body Positioning, Step Turns, Snow Plow Wedge, Wedge Turns, Kick Turns, Edge Control, Proper Hand Position, Pole Use, and much more.  This is not a telemark clinic. CONC is offering a telemark clinic later in the season.

  This clinic will be at Hoodoo, and you will have to purchase a discounted lift ticket ($33) to participate.

  Prerequisites for this clinic are strict.  Novice to intermediate skiers with some downhill experiences are invited.  However, if you have lesser skills, the clinic will get frustrating for you and slow others down.  The following equipment is required: skis of 88-90 or wider mm in width, three pin or cable bindings and appropriate beefy boots to match, wider skis in the 100 or more-shovel range are even better. REQUIRED:  LEGITIMATE RUNAWAY STRAPS, SKI HELMET, ADJUSTABLE BACKCOUNTRY OR ALPINE POLES AND APPROPRIATE DRESS (ALPINE SKIING AND RIDING THE LIFT IS MUCH COLDER THAN A NORDIC TOUR). NNN-BC boots and bindings are not allowed unless you modify to allow for use of a ski leash (not easy to do). Pine Mountain Sports rents nice beefy backcountry skis with the new Rottefella Explore binding system and it is easy to add a leash to that.
  

   This clinic is limited to the first 16 members who register.  After that we will develop a waiting list and will try and find more coaches to accommodate interest.  When you register, please list the skis, bindings and boots you plan to use.

  Number of students: 16
  

  Meeting time/place: Hoodoo Ski Area Lodge by Harold the Hodag, 10 am.  Please have your lift ticket already purchased and be ready to ski at 10.

  Telemark Clinic at Hoodoo
  

  Learn the oldest and most graceful turn in skiing. Join us at Hoodoo ski resort for an introduction to telemark skiing. We will focus on a progression of skills and drills that will guide you on your way to learning to telemark.

  Skills covered: proper weight distribution, the telemark stance, lead changes, proper hand placement and pole use, wedge to tele turns, telemark to stop turn, step tele, and linking turns together.

  We will start by using the very beginner lift at Hoodoo, and the Thrifty Thursday lift pass is $33 for all day. Please buy your lift ticket before the meeting time so as to be ready to meet and greet and then hit the slopes. The slope on this lift is super mellow, great for teaching and learning without being intimidated. If folks are progressing and comfortable, we can move on to other lifts and slopes. We will clinic for 2.5-3hours and break for lunch. You can bring lunch or grab something from the café in the lodge.I plan to free ski after lunch and folks are welcome to join me practicing and learning the mountain. Will stay on greens and easy blues after lunch.

  Prerequisites: CONC’s XCD clinic or solid downhill ski control including snowplow wedge and wedge turns, P turns, Step turns and generally comfortable on skis on downhill landscapes.

  Equipment requirements: Wide and beefy backcountry set ups with fish scales is OK, skis need to be 110mmwide at shovel (front) and 90mm wide under foot (or wider) with 75mm and 3 pin bindings or cable bindings. All skis must have retention devices or ski brakes. Even better for the clinic would be a true telemark setup: 75mm bindings (cable) or NTN, and tele specific skis with no scales.   Between Evergreens has a small fleet of NTN gear for rent--talk to Sam.  I have a few pair of loaner 75mm skis if you have 75mm boots for backcountry and want to try a true telemark ski instead. Please contact Woody for this (trailwisdom@gmail.com) as we would need to adjust bindings the week prior to the clinic. REQUIRED:  LEGITIMATE RUNAWAY STRAPS, SKI HELMET, ADJUSTABLE BACKCOUNTRY OR ALPINE POLES AND APPROPRIATE DRESS (ALPINE SKIING AND RIDING THE LIFT IS MUCH COLDER THAN A NORDIC TOUR).

  Buy your lift ticket before meeting the group. We will meet inside the lodge at the doors exiting the slopes and by Harold the Hodag (can’t miss him).  This clinic is limited to the first 16 members who register. After that we will develop a waiting list and will try and find more coaches to accommodate interest.  When you register, please list the skis, bindings and boots you plan to use.

  Number of students: 16

A dinner of spaghetti (vegetarian or meat) is served on Friday evening, with Southern Oregon wine, cocktails and beer available at an extra charge. 

  Saturday morning, after a buffet breakfast, everyone heads back to Crater Lake to ski or snowshoe.  We will also try to set up a guided snowshoe with a park ranger which has been very popular in the past.  Brown-bag lunches will be provided. Saturday evening’s dinner will be your choice of prime rib, dill roasted salmon or vegetarian lasagna. 

  On Sunday morning a second buffet breakfast is served, and everyone departs for more skiing, exploring or a direct return to Bend.  Since the weather is currently unknown, it is a good idea to also bring hiking boots.  There are trails nearby, including 3 waterfalls within a 12-minute walk from the hotel’s front door.
