Stand up paddle boarding is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Why? I don't get it. This is what I hear when I am explaining the sport to someone that has never done it. Most people say that they have seen people SUPing in Hawaii so why do we have stand up paddleboards at Leavenworth Mountain Sports?

Time to bike, time to climb, trail run, hike and all for what? TO GET IN SHAPE FOR SKIING. Why do we do anything in this crazy world of ours. We do it in preparation for skiing. The only reason we have a Spring, Summer and Fall is so that we have time to rest from skiing and prepare ourselves for WINTER

 Opening day at the Icicle river trails were awesome. I went skate skiing this morning Friday, December 19 and it was a lot of fun. We need another 6 inches for complete coverage but the groomers did a wonderfull job with what they have to work with.
Tracks were set for classic skiing and the skate skiing was a little slow depending on what wax you have.
We are now renting classic and skate skis as well as snowshoes and Backcountry skis.
Call anytime for updated trail report or for the wax of the day.
GET OUT AND SWEAT.........LIFE IS SKI

Backcountry skiing in the Cascades is one of the most untapped resources in the lower 48 states. In the Leavenworth area we have the Icicle Canyon and Highway 2 corridor. The geology gives us perfect access to steep couloirs or hippy powder runs right from the car. You can literally step out of your car and start gaining vertical which means that you can ski maximum vert. right to the cold six pack stashed in the car.
At Leavenworth Mountain Sports we have a full service Backcountry Ski department. Anything you need from skins, skis, probes, avalanche beacons not to mention the line of skis from Black Diamond, K2 and Karhu.
We are excited to debut Black Diamond's new alpine touring and telemark boots this season. LMS rents all of the equipment we sell. For around $45 you can demo skis, skins and boots before you buy. We will refund any rental fee with the purchase of that item.
I will try to keep up updated as the season moves.

 Rock climbing in Leavenworth offers a wide spectrum of challenges, from
short fierce boulder problems to long multi-pitch traditional routes.
The granite slabs, domes and towers of Tumwater and Icicle Canyons host
over 1000 routes as documented in the current guidebook. These scenic
and inviting venues have been climbed on for over 60 years and now
offer newer developed sport climbs as well as friction slabs, knobby
faces, burly overhangs and all variety of cracks.

Thank you for joining us at our dream job. Cheryl, my wife and I have lived in Leavenworth and have a similar story as a lot of locals do. We moved here because of the skiing, whitewater and rock climbing but to find a career that supports our family is the hard part.

 Inspired by an endless Washington Winter I had to check out the swath. It’s giant avalanche path so entices me yet I wonder if she is the spider waiting for her prey. I could not resist, I had to have a closer look at her web.
