All participants are guaranteed their own bed on our trips.

A Single Supplement (SS) means you will have your own room with your own bed, and no other participants will share that room with you. Single supplements are limited, offered at an additional cost, and will appear as a booking option at the time of registration if still available.

A Double Accommodation means you will share a room with another participant. You will still have your own bed. Shared beds can be requested but cannot always be accommodated depending upon the property.

Bathrooms: Bathroom arrangements vary depending on the trip and lodging. A single supplement guarantees your own sleeping space but may still include a shared bathroom. Double accommodations typically share a bathroom with a roommate and sometimes additional participants, depending on the property. Private or ensuite bathrooms will be noted in the trip details when available.

Breakfasts are served daily at the lodge clubhouses (Inn at Mazama and Sun Mountain Lodge), with hearty, locally inspired options. Lunches are either provided as packed trail lunches or at local cafés, depending on the day. Dinners are a mix of lodge dining and local restaurants, with some catered group meals. You’ll have opportunities to enjoy regional specialties and refuel after skiing or snowshoeing.

If we know well in advance, we can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-sensitive diets. We cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free environment, so participants with severe allergies or Celiac disease should contact our office before registering and may wish to bring personal snacks or supplemental meals.

Ski rentals and poles are provided through our local outfitter, along with snowshoes for those choosing that option. All equipment is professionally fitted to ensure comfort and proper sizing. Helmets are optional, and personal gear like winter clothing, gloves, and goggles should be brought by participants.

Each day begins with breakfast followed by a morning warm-up or optional stretch. Skiing typically covers 3–6 hours on groomed trails, ranging from gentle rollers to moderate hills. Guides provide route guidance, trail information, and optional technique instruction. Afternoons may include shorter ski loops, snowshoeing, or relaxation at the lodge with hot tubs or optional sleigh rides.

Methow Valley trails are mostly groomed and well-maintained, weaving through forests, open meadows, and along rivers. Terrain varies from flat beginner-friendly loops to rolling hills with moderate elevation gain. Trails may have icy or snowy patches, so proper winter footwear and layered clothing are recommended. Guides will support participants on more challenging sections.

In addition to skiing, you can choose to snowshoe on quieter forest trails, relax in hot tubs, enjoy the panoramic views from lodge decks, or take a horse-drawn sleigh ride. These activities are designed to provide downtime, rest, and a chance to experience the Methow Valley from a different perspective while enjoying the winter scenery.
