Nordic trails were groomed and ready for skiers late last week, after heavy snow.
The Methow Valley’s Nordic ski trails are groomed and ready for the earliest opening in the 39-year history of the Methow Trails organization, executive director James DeSalvo said Friday (Nov. 20).
Part of the Methow Valley received up to 2 feet of new snow the previous week, according to a Methow Trails press release.
“The snow just kept coming and we have maximized every inch, creating a strong ski trail platform in all four of our skiing areas: Mazama, the Rendezvous, Sun Mountain and Winthrop,” DeSalvo said.
Methow Trails is North America’s largest cross-country ski area with over 120 miles of groomed trails.
Daily grooming reports and trail conditions can also be found on the Methow Trails website at methowtrails.org/winter-trails/grooming or via the free Methow Trails mobile app.
The early snow also allowed for grooming on some of the fat bike trails at Pearrygin Lake State Park last week. A Sno-Park permit is required at the park.
A multi-use trail for skiing and fat biking will be available at the Town Trailhead in Winthrop when there is enough snow. Other fat-biking areas include Lloyd Ranch, Gunn Ranch and Big Valley.
