The Mussner family rebuilt the mountain lodge in 2010, using local Dolomite stone and larch wood and the affect is one of calm modernity, all clean lines and soft colours.
If you are a beginner, the Methow Valley Ski School offers lessons in classic cross-country skiing and more technical skate-skiing at three locations, Winthrop, Mazama and the Sun Mountain Lodge.
Overall, the resort is a clever update of the grand mountain lodge tradition, with comfortable interiors of slate and cedar that offer floor-to-ceiling views of thousands of Jeffrey and ponderosa pines scattered across the valley.
The structure spans 15, 000 square feet, and sits 500 inside plus 250 more on an outdoor deck with sweeping views of the Sierras, and most of the time it functions as just another on-mountain ski lodge with restrooms and dining, albeit a very modern and environmentally friendly one with great food (and a full blown barbecue smokehouse outside).

Unlike the area's typical hiker lodgings, it has solar electricity, hot water, comfy beds, and a staff--a mountain guide looks after guests' safety, while a lodge host attends to their comfort, serving meals and handling cleanup duties.
