Nestled on a scenic ridge near the eastern portal of the historic Stampede Pass Train Tunnel (just 3 miles Southwest from exit 62 on I-90), Meany lodge is the oldest of the Mountaineer's ski lodges. Situated near the meandering Yakima River, and surrounded by the lush, peaceful Wenatchee National Forest, it is a welcome respite from the chaos of cities and commercial ski areas.
Meany hosts a 450 ft vertical drop, private ski slope. The slope has a total of 32 downhill runs. Access to the runs is via the only certified rope tow west of the Rockies. Novice and intermediate skiers/snowboarders enjoy the four groomed runs, while advanced and experts can take advantage of a variety of non-groomed (up to double black diamond) and back-country runs. The Meany campus encompasses approximately one mile of groomed cross-country trails, with additional trails winding through the surrounding landscape to a variety of destinations. Historic Stampede Pass, the NWS Weather Station at Stampede Pass and Mt. Frances are all within easy distance of the lodge.
