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’

what is today, 40 years later, a
