Methow Trails
Looking back in the history books of the Methow Valley, it
seems like there have always been ski trails in the Valley.
These “trails” that were the width of a ski and were formed by
the person skiing in front of you.
By the 1970s, Nordic skiers had started experimenting with
homemade grooming equipment as the sport of cross-
country skiing was fast growing in popularity.
By all accounts, 1977 was the year that a number of these
local, homegrown grooming operators in the Methow all
came together and formed the Methow Valley Family Ski
Club—the start to what would later become the Methow
Valley Sport Trails Association (MVSTA) and what is today
Methow Trails.
It’s an incredible story…a perfect storm of people,
partnerships, personalities, and perseverance all shaping
Methow Trails’
40
th
Anniversary
what is today, 40 years later, a
unique—and one of the most
spectacular—trail systems in the
world.
We hope you can join us
on the trails this year as
we celebrate the story of
how this all came to be.
