Torin Koos grew up and graduated from
Leavenworth. He started his x-country ski training here at
the age of 7. We have some wonderful trails for the world
class athlete or the novice. Come and enjoy! Nordic
nights--5k of the 7k groomed trails are under lights. Two
groomed hills with rope tows, historic lodge & 90 meter jump
hill (retired in 1977) where athletes from all over the
world competed. A lift has just been added to our tubing
hill & 90 meter jump hill (retired in 1977).
In town we have twenty-six kilometers of groomed classic track and skating lanes at three areas around Leavenworth. A short distance from town we have 110 miles of snowmobile trails, and 729,000 acres of national forest land available for exploration. Just a 30 minute drive from Leavenworth is Mission Ridge. Their summit elevation is 6,820' which translates to sun and quality snow conditions. They just added a new high speed quad. They have 2,000 acres to explore with 66 acres of snowmaking. Stevens is just a 35 minute drive and offers 1,125 acres of terrain. Our area has something for everyone! Relax & Breathe the fresh air

We are having cold crisp star-filled nights and
days with beautiful blue skies, white fluffy clouds and
beautiful white snow. Bring your camera and enjoy the scenery.
Take a sleigh ride, snowmobile, or sit by a cozy fire and take in the beauty. It's the time of year with no festivals and the pace is slow and easy, come and enjoy. Choose from a romantic B&B, a fireplace jacuzzi suite, a cozy cabin or budget accommodations, the choices are endless. March offers many wonderful concerts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leavenworth offers bluegrass, acoustic, Chamber
music, and oompa in the restaurants and a variety of music
at the Community Coffee house. In April choose from a choral
festival, a nationally and internationally known
gospel-singing group; the first African-American oriented
choir to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle; also festival artist
violist Mara Gearman rejoins the members of the Icicle Creek
Piano Trio, for this final spring concert.
Thinking ahead to Easter and April,we have incredible Easter egg hunts, one where you can also visit with the farm animals. There will be a Bunny Time Tea Party with face painting and a cow train ride and individual time with the bunny, pictures taken and treats. The apple blossoms are spectacular. As soon as the snow melts wildflowers start popping through to create spectacular spring colors.
