Trail updates
18 inches of new snow up at WA Pass! Lots of rain on the rest of the trail network, but the snow level seems to be dropping as the weeks move on. With the current volume of snow up at the pass, there is currently NO PARKING at Washington Pass. We are putting grooming operations on hold until there is space to park off the highway to even access our grooming equipment. If we can park today or tomorrow, then we will groom.
No pass is required at WA Pass, but purchasing your Annual Pass helps support our work, including early-season alpine grooming. Enjoy!

Trailhead shuttles
Ditch the car and let TranGO do the driving! Our local public tranportation bus service is now offering trips to the upper valley, including the Mazama trailhead. Rides are just $1 and kids are free. You can even bring your bike or skis along for the ride, and drivers can drop you off anywhere along the route it is safe to pull over. TranGO runs all day, Monday-Saturday; check out their website for route and schedule details.
Ski to the Sun
Join Methow Trails and the Methow Valley Nordic Ski Education Foundation for the annual Ski to the Sun Marathon and Relay. The course travels through North America’s largest ski trail network and takes skiers from the tranquil banks of the Methow River to the beautiful mountain vistas at Sun Mountain Lodge. Ski the race as an individual or as a relay with up to five other friends or family members. You’ll enjoy food and fun along the way! Registration for 2026 Ski to the Sun will open in September, 2025.
