Meany Lodge

Meany Lodge

The Mountaineers' oldest winter sports resort, located approximately 60 miles east from Seattle off I-90 near Stampede Pass and surrounded by the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Meany Lodge provides a warm family environment for all - perfect for winter and summer adventures alike.

Visitors to Meany

During the summer, Meany offers a range of activities including biking, hiking, mushroom hunting and the opportunity to learn all sorts of skills and make friends during work parties.  Come learn to splice ropes, maintain tracked vehicles, conduct forestry projects, do plumbing or carpentry, maintain trails, and more!    To register for fall work parties, use these links: Sept 26-27, Oct 10-11, Oct 24-25, Nov 7-8

Meany Lodge on Social Media 

Follow the Meany Lodge Facebook or Instagram pages to see photos and videos from our Spring Carnival, winter weekends, and stewardship weekends. 

UpcomING Events  

  • Work Parties - Meany is run by volunteers like you!  Come make new friends and learn what it takes to operate a ski area, prepare trails, fix machinery, and improve the lodge.  Participation in work party weekends is free and provides stewardship credit.  Sept 26-27, Oct 10-11, Oct 24-25, Nov 7-8
  • Mushroom Weekend, 10/30-11/1/2026 - Registration is open!  One benefit of all the rain we get is a bumper crop of mushrooms.  Spend a weekend learning to hunt mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest with experts from the local Mycological Society and the Mountaineers. Eat delicious feasts prepared from locally sourced mushrooms.  This weekend always fills up - you can add yourself to the waitlist if the event is sold out when you try to register.
