January 9, 2025 - Recognized as one of the finest Nordic skiing destinations on the continent, and the longest groomed trail system in North America, Methow Trails in Washington state, maintains 220km of immaculate trails with five distinct and interconnected networks.

The original Methow Valley cross-country centre and 60km of trail is based at luxurious Sun Mountain Lodge that features a wide variety of terrain such as the View Ridge trail that offers incredible views of the Methow Valley and the North Cascades.

After skiing, pamper yourself with a massage or facial at the spa before enjoying dinner and fine wine in Sun Mountain’s stunning dining room, a recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award for Dining for 27 consecutive years.

Sun Mountain is a full-service resort with a variety of sublimely appointed rooms, many with gas fireplaces and super-large jetted tubs to soothe tired ski muscles, as well as two outdoor hot pools, including Patterson Lake Cabins that are perfect for family groups.

Other activities include 20km of well-marked and maintained snowshoe trails, groomed fatbike trails, a refrigerated outdoor ice skating rink, a small downhill ski area and helicopter skiing.
