Methow Valley Nordic Ski Educational Foundation

We love the Methow Valley and we know you do too. This GiveBIG (April 28–May 5), please consider a donation that bring events that spark joy and support our local economy!

From youth programs to community races and events, Methow Valley Nordic creates opportunities for skiers of all ages to get out, connect, and celebrate the season. Along the way, these events draw visitors from outside the Valley, supporting local businesses and contributing to the local economy.

This past season, race participation grew by more than 50% in our signature race, and out-of-town visitors equaled the total number of racers from the year before.

This work is powered almost entirely by volunteers—and by donors like you.

For GiveBig this year, we’re aiming to raise $10,000 to support the real costs behind these events while keeping them welcoming, inclusive, and affordable for all.

Here’s how your gift makes a difference:

• $1,000 ensures reliable race timing for a full day of competition

• $500 supports locally made awards that reflect the spirit of the Valley

• $250 helps cover essential event infrastructure

• $100 adds joy for kids through our free lollipop races

• $25 keeps our volunteer crew warm, caffeinated, and going strong

Your support helps sustain events that bring energy to the Valley in winter—creating memorable experiences for participants and meaningful impact for the broader community!
