The Summit At Snoqualmie

Why Go to The Summit at Snoqualmie

#27 in Best Ski Resorts in the USA

Less than an hour east of Seattle, The Summit at Snoqualmie  – known as “Seattle’s Home Mountain” – was once made up of four individual ski resorts.

But it’s now a 1,914 acre ski area that gets about 435 at its lowest elevation base to 600 inches of snowfall annually at its highest Alpental base in its Snoqualmie Pass location, in the heart of Washington’s Cascade ranges.

The Summit at Snoqualmie boasts the most night skiing in the U.S., with 541 acres in three mountain areas open after 4 p.m.  There is also a 20-lane tubing park, three satellite terrain parks along with two core parks at the ski area and 23 trails set aside for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The Summit at Snoqualmie has a Ski & Snowboard School that offers private and group lessons for kids and families as well as a Kids Corral half-day package and a Kids Club half-day package for a variety of ages. The resort has a ski and snowboard rental shop that offers a season rental pass, and there are numerous rental operations nearby, on the pass – some like Chair Two, specialize in snowboard rentals. The Summit at Snoqualmie is an Ikon Pass destination. There is slopeside dining here, though no resort accommodation.

The season usually begins in early December and runs through April. Snowmaking covers only five acres here. Some say the best time to ski and snowboard at The Summit at Snoqualmie is in January when lower temperatures mean more snow and less chance of rain, and holiday crowds can be avoided.
