Welcome to Washington.
Join us this winter at the Inn at Mazama for our second annual Washington ski retreat. We will spend the weekend fully immersed in the stunning Methow Valley at the epicenter of the best cross-country ski trails in the nation. As always, we will pair our outdoor pursuits with restoring yoga classes and delicious and nourishing food. If you’ve been looking for a new experience and a way to get away from it all, this weekend in Mazama will be the perfect fit.
What it’s all about.

About last year…
“I went into this weekend a little apprehensive because I've never been on a pair of skate skis. I wasn't sure what to expect, but from the moment I walked in Whitney was super warm and gracious and made me feel comfortable. The rest of the group was amazing as well and I never felt judged for my lack of skills. Whitney is a great instructor and curator of a wonderful weekend experience.”
Get situated.
The Inn at Mazama is located at the top of the remote and beautiful Methow Valley. About four hours away from downtown Seattle, it’s here you’ll find some of the best Nordic skiing in America.
Out-of-state skiers may choose to fly into Wenatchee Airport (EAT), a two-hour drive from our destination for the weekend.
