Trip Rating: All Ability Classic and Skate Ski on Groomed Trails
Base Camp: Winthrop, WA
The Methow Valley has over 200 km of trails groomed for classic and skate. We always fill the 4 days of skiing with world class action as the elevation of the trail systems ranges from 2000 to over 4000 ft. Some people will take a skate lesson and decide to pack away their classic skis for this new-found skill. Sometimes people will ski from our luxury condo in Winthrop to Twisp for breakfast at the bakery enjoying the presence of bald eagles and deer en-route.
We have two luxury condominiums in Winthrop with full accommodations. Plan for potluck dinners that we prepare in the fully equipped kitchens. Restaurants are always an option and some are within skiing / walking distance from the condo, along with grocery and sundries stores.
If you tire of skiing, the town of Winthrop is perfect for sightseeing. It is an authentic replica of a frontier town with museums, saloons, and when your energy returns, you can ice skate on the ice-skating rink.
All the trails are groomed for skiing, skate skiing, and fat tire bike. You can leave your backcountry skis and snowshoes home for this one. Trails range from easy to black diamond but with the impeccable grooming, even on the double black trails you have total control.
