Methow Trails was founded in 1977 and is now the largest cross-country ski area in North America with over 120+ miles groomed nightly. We are a non-profit whose mission is to connect people, nature, and communities through a world-class trail system. While cross-country skiing is at the core of our operation, we manage over 120 miles of trails for year-round recreation, including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fatbiking, hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and horseback riding. This is possible through partnerships with over 175 generous landowners and land managers who allow public access to their land. Support from our trail users and donors allow us to ensure world-class grooming and year-round maintenance of the trails, provide free trail access and event participation to all kids 17 and under, and support a vibrant year-round economy in the Methow Valley. We know that access to outdoor recreation is critical to the mental and physical well-being of our community (93% of participants in a recent survey reported that the quality of their lives is significantly improved because of Methow Trails), and we are so grateful for your support so that we continue to provide these vital experiences and connections.
