Methow Trails is open after the Winthrop area received two feet of snow over the past week. “This is our earliest opening in our 39-year history” James DeSalvo, executive Director for Methow Trails, said in a statement. “The snow just kept coming, and we have maximized every inch, creating a strong ski trail platform.” The 120-mile trail system is offering free skiing for REI members on Nov. 27.
