| Just north of town on Wentachee National Forest property, the Leavenworth Ski Hill offers downhill skiing on two groomed hills serviced by rope tows. It is open four days a week and all school holidays.Since 1928 the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club or some early form of it has been facilitating winter recreation in Leavenworth area. Traditionally the 'base' of our operations has been up at the 'Ski Hill' where today we offer two rope tows, a Nordic jumping hill, a tubing hill, and 8km of Nordic trails of which 5 are lighted for night skiing.Since the mid-1990's, however, the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club has had most of its growth and success in the establishment of world class Nordic skiing. We currently maintain 26km of trails at 3 locations in the valley, the Icicle River Trails, the Golf Course Trails, and the Ski Hill.Leavenworth Winter Sports Club Mountain Statistics Vertical Drop: 200 ft.
