The Methow Valley is calling! This enchanting winter wonderland offers families an incredible opportunity to enjoy skiing adventures without stretching their budgets. With two standout destinations where kids can ski for free, it’s never been easier to plan an affordable and unforgettable winter getaway.

For an affordable alpine adventure, head to Loup Loup Ski Bowl in Okanogan County. Thanks to their Kids Ski Free Program, children 12 and under can ski for free when accompanied by a parent or guardian purchasing a lift ticket. A family of four can enjoy an entire day on the slopes for just $150—significantly less than you’d pay at larger resorts.

Say goodbye to long lift lines and hidden fees. Loup Loup ensures a stress-free experience with free parking and a welcoming atmosphere. This community-funded program highlights the resort’s commitment to making winter sports accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, Loup Loup Ski Bowl is the perfect place for families to bond and create lasting memories on the mountain.

To make your trip even easier, Loup Loup has partnered with nearby accommodations to offer budget-friendly lodging options. Stay in the rustic charm of Casia Lodge and Ranch in Twisp or the familiar comfort of the Best Western Peppertree in Omak. These partnerships make planning your getaway seamless and affordable.

If your family loves the peaceful beauty of cross-country skiing, Methow Trails is a must-visit destination. As North America's largest cross-country ski area, it features over 120 miles of meticulously groomed trails that weave through stunning landscapes.

Even better, kids 17 and under ski free every day—no passes required! Whether you’re introducing your children to the joys of cross-country skiing or gliding together through snowy meadows, Methow Trails provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable family moments.

Whether you crave the thrill of downhill skiing at Loup Loup or the serene glide of cross-country skiing on Methow Trails, the Methow Valley offers something for every family. With free skiing for kids, it’s the ideal opportunity to introduce your little ones to winter sports or enjoy a budget-friendly escape.
