Methow Valley Hanz’s Big Adventure

Hosted by Methow Valley Nordic, Hanz’s Big Adventure is a trials-format race for kids up to 100 years old. Venue is the McCabe Trails at Liberty Bell High School. You guess how long it will take you to do your chosen course and enter your time when you register. All you know ahead of time are the approximate distance of the courses you can choose from–1, 2.5, or 5 km.

On the day of Hanz’s Big Adventure you then ski that course–or a different one if you change your mind, but your predicted time can’t change. The skier who comes closest to guessing their actual time will be the winner. Skiers may not look at a watch or get advice from others while on course. You may do skate or classic technique, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to ski and have fun! There will be zany obstacles along the way to make the courses more interesting. Members of the biathlon team are encouraged to do the biathlon obstacle as well. All skiers will wear bib numbers and start at a specified time.
