Adams, The Enchantments and the majestic Columbia River winding through the valley below.

Stevens Pass
61 miles away
1 PHOTO
Seventy years ago, Bruce Kehr and Don Adams took a Ford V-8 engine, some wheels and a rope, combined with a little imagination and their passion, and started Stevens Pass. Stevens has grown from its humble beginnings to one of the Northwest's premier resorts offering 10 lifts, over 1,125 acres of skiable terrain, 37 primary runs, and at the heart-an intimate base village surrounded by our three day lodges. Like our founders, the resort's team members are passionate about the sport, their environment and the service they provide....
Best place we have stayed for skiing is Dirty Face Lodge. 20 minutes from the lifts and sleeps about 30!!...
Fun place to ski....
Wow what a mountain! It's perfect! I love the tougher runs at Stephens Pass, no matter how good you are you'll still get snow in your underwear (I mean that in a good way), you never outgrow this mountain. It's perfect for a crazy guy like me, but I see a lot of normal people here too....

Summit at Snoqualmie
62 miles away

From the steep and deep to the high-speed buffed-out cruisers, from our gentle learning areas to our benchmark parks and pipe, diversity is a way of life around here. With four unique base areas and less than an hour from Seattle on Interstate 90, no other resort in the country offers so much variety with this much convenience. Consider it a buffet for the outdoor enthusiast!
For the third year in a row, we stayed open longer than any other resort in the state, this season through Memorial Day. What can we say? We love spring skiing as much as you do!
So if you're looking for a true escape this winter, look no further than The Summit.
Just around the corner...
