From the recreational user to the Olympian, the Methow has your trail Generations of Methow Valley residents have enjoyed one of the world's finest cross country skiing destinations. Nothing could provide a better workout to ensure a healthy, lasting life-style. Ann Henry, Laura McCabe and Tara Gregg all agree the Methow has terrain for everyone from the recreational user, to the Olympian, to the aspiring youth. She moved here with her husband Doc Henry nearly 30 years ago.
Henry tries to get out on the snow at least three times a week.
I can ski right out my back door. Henry's favorite trails are on the Sun Mountain system. If you want a workout you can climb forever, or you can choose a calm relaxing trail. Henry also loves the trail just past the green bridge, over the Methow River south of downtown Winthrop, for a quick and easy exercise. McCabe is the local youth cross country skiing coach and runs a weekly masters class.
