3. Mission Ridge Ski and Board Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 159 reviews
Mission Ridge is in the heart of Washington State where the jagged peaks of the Cascade Range meet the high rugged desert of eastern Washington. A volcanic past has created a ridge where snowcapped peaks shimmer on one side and the Columbia River rolls majestically through eastern Washington on the other. But don’t let the view distract you, Mission Ridge has over 2000 acres to explore. Carve tree lined groomers, float through wide open bowls, wiggle through glades or scream down narrow chutes. Now throw in tons of sunshine, heaps of dry snow, and reams of velvety corduroy and you have Washington’s most distinctive winter playground. Make us your Mission this season.

I skiied Mission Ridge for the first time since 2002 on December 30th, 2019. Really great quantity and quality of terrain, more modern lifts, great new main lodge, and great snow quality, a hard-to-find feature lately. I am a Seattle-resident skiier who grew up skiing Mount Baker when I lived further north. As a retired "super-senior" now I have inexpensive season passes at Baker, Snoqualmie,and Stevens. I got back in shape starting with the 2017/2018 season. Warmer temperatures have delayed and degraded ski area snow quality along the west side of the Cascade Range last season and this season. Very late coverage, then too much thaw and refreeze. Very difficult to groom. Mission Ridge is the answer. Colder weather on the east side of the range. Less snow you say? Not since they invested in Sun Valley style snow making. And they have some of the best grooming around. Cheap, quality hotels in central Wenatchee are 20 minutes from the parking lot. Buying a pass there first, next year.
