Methow Valley native Novie McCabe, recently named to the U.S. Ski Team that will compete at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in February, celebrated her success at the recent U.S. Super Tour meet in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Novie McCabe, the Methow Valley’s latest Winter Olympian, has landed safely in Beijing ahead this Friday’s opening ceremonies in the Chinese capital city, according to mother Laura McCabe.
“She got there okay and was able to text me and let me know,” said McCabe while helping at the Race of the Methow this weekend. Novie had been training in northern Italy for the past week since being named to the 2022 U.S. Nordic Team. The team left Italy for Beijing on Saturday.
