Bear Mountain Luge Prepares for Third Season

Press Release


Dec 02, 2019

Loup Loup Ski Bowl’s Bear Mountain Luge Sledding operation prepares to open for its third successful season.   Natural Luge Sledding came to the Pacific Northwest in 2016. Since then interest in this exciting winter  sport has grown to over 1,000 sledding guests in 2018-2019 season.

A day of Natural Luge Sledding includes use  of a handcrafted European sled,  an instructional clinic at the base area, a 45-minute snowcat ride up  Bear Mountain through spectacular alpine scenery and then a thrilling  Luge Sledding experience down 5-6 km’s of groomed mountain trails accompanied by your clinic instructors.

This year’s upgrades include two new Luge Sledding runs for faster sledding opportunities and less walking  between segments, and a new on-line Luge reservation system on our website, www.skitheloup.com. Reservations are highly recommended as spaces fill quickly.

Bear Mountain Luge operates on weekends and through the Christmas holiday and President’s weeks.

Loup Loup Ski Bowl is located at the junction of the spectacular Okanogan and Methow valleys  on Highway  20 at Loup Loup Pass.  This 4,000’ pass assures excellent snow  conditions for Alpine Skiing, Nordic cross  country skiing and Luge Sledding.

Contact Loup Loup’s General Manager Dave Betts at manager@skitheloup.com, or at (509) 557-3401 for more information.

Bear Mountain Luge is operated by Loup Loup Ski Bowl, which is operated by the Loup Loup Ski Education Foundation as a 501 (c)(3) non- profit organization. This institution is an equal opportunity provider and is operated under special use  permit with the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest.
