The Tour of the Methow is NOT a race. It is a celebration of skiing, and of the Methow Valley ski trail system. This event goes back to the roots of skiing- it's about the snow, the beauty of the outdoors, the skiing and the camaraderie.

We don't have awards, t-shirts, coffee cups, or high entry fees. We offer a fantastic day of skiing with friends, transportation, and an all-you-can-eat lunch/refueling stop. If that sounds fun to you, read on.

 

Distances and course descriptions:

Mix and match your sections and distances. You have the option of a 20, 30, 50, or 80 kilometer course. We welcome kids and families as well.

Section One: (30K) begins at the Cub Creek trailhead, goes up and over the Rendezvous, and finishes at the Mazama Community Club.

Section Two: (20K) begins in Mazama, goes through Wilson Ranch, around Jacks Trail, and finishes back in Mazama.

You can ski one, two, or all three sections

Food, Water & Socializing

There will be ample high energy food at the Mazama Community Club. You may stop in once or twice, depending on your route choice. The Community Club is also a great place for a rest and a chat with friends as you see various groups coming and going all day. It may be the best part of your day!

For 2022 we are planning to have an indoor serving line with outdoor seating under the new picnic area!

We look forward to seeing you in February!
