Trail updates
2 inches of new snow fell valley wide! It isn't enough to get our groomers going on our trail network, but is enough for nicely groomed conditions up at the pass. Enjoy the grooming while it lasts up high.
Parking is still extremely limited, and often times 4-wheel drive is needed to park on the snowy shoulder, so please carpool. You cannot park on the highway. Make sure you are well clear of the white line, or you may be ticketed or towed, and we may lose our ability to groom. Some additional parking maybe found east of the WA pass pullout. No trail pass is required at WA Pass, but purchasing your Annual Pass helps support our work, including early-season alpine grooming. Thank you for making it possible.

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.
