LOTS of activities this Holiday Season


It's that magical time of year in the Methow when you can do almost every activity! Here are some of the awesome activities to message to our visitors!  

  • Cross-country skiing. YES, MVSTA's higher elevation Nordic trails are open with some good cross-country skiing in the Rendezvous! Use the mvsta.com website and grooming report to stay in touch with current conditions, pricing and current photos. 
  • Ice skate at the Winthrop Ice Rink. The ice is fantastic!  Winthropicerink.com for the schedule. 
  • Pond skate on many local lakes. Until the next snowfall this is a unique experience and oh, what a thrill it is.  Guests will need their own skates for this.  
  • Tubing at Loup Loup Ski Bowl from 10am -2pm everyday starting this Saturday. (excluding Christmas Day) $10 for tubing and tube rentals.  Hot drinks and S'mores offered as well. 
  • Snowshoe - MVSTA's Snowshoe Nature Tours happen every Saturday at Sun Mountain and Mazama. 
  • Fat bike- absolutely the perfect time to try fat biking!  Rental fat bikes at Methow Cycle and Sport, Sun Mountain Lodge and The Loup.  Methow Cycle and Sport also has 2 free fat bike demos over the holidays on December 22 and 28th.  
  • Snowmobiling- refer customers to the Methow Valley Snowmobile Association for current conditions. Snowmobiles have been going up Sweet Grass Butte and Highway 20.  
  • Hike- some of our lower elevation trails are great for hiking including Patterson Mountain and Pipestone Canyon. 
  • Trail run- if you can hike it, you can trail run it.
  • Arts and Events- check the Winthrop Washington event calendar. It is loaded with great arts, events and music. 
  • Shop for holiday gifts- we all know how unique the shops in Winthrop, Mazama and Twisp are! 
Just like Christmas cookies, don't limit yourself to just one!
