Welcome Guest

Lake Tahoe mountain resorts.

Enjoy the spectacular mountain views of Three Sisters Wilderness Area, Mt. Jefferson, and Three Fingered Jack. Most trails at Hoodoo can be found on the northern slope of the mountain, which provides dry powder midwinter and excellent spring skiing. Beginners do great at Hoodoo Ski Bowl because of the wide runs, but don't worry there are many adventurous trails for the intermediate and advanced skiers as well. If skiing is not your winter sport of choice try our 15.8 kilometers of Nordic trails, or try out the Autobahn Snow Tube Park.

Mt. Baker ski area sits at the edge of the wilderness in the heart of the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State. One of North America's top resorts for snowfall, Mt. Baker Ski Area receives an average of over 600 inches of snow each year. Over 1,000 acres of terrain are serviced by eight chair lifts and two lodges. The White Salmon Day Lodge offers a spectacular view of 9,720-foot Mt. Shuksan and the surrounding Cascade mountains. Head to Mt. Baker for steep chutes, natural half-pipes, plenty of tree skiing and spectacular scenery. There is no lodging at Mt. Baker. The nearest accommodations are 17 miles away. Overnight parking for self-contained RVs is permitted in designated areas only at Heather Meadows or White Salmon.

Mt. Bachelor is a former volcanic cone in the Cascade Mountains that rises up above the surrounding pine forest. It's located near the town of Bend, which is a popular retirement destination and also has a lot of golf courses - so if you like skiing and golf, it's always a good choice. There are only the standard facilities at Bachelor's base, but a good variety of lodging and restaurants are to be found in Bend and nearby towns where off slope facilities include concerts, theatre and the chance to try dog sledding. Mount Bachelor has a remarkable record of receiving enough natural snowfall to continue the ski season up to July. It's been growing since the 1950s and is now one of the biggest ski resorts in the USA. Trails are up to two miles long and primarily suit intermediate recreational skiers, although there's plenty for beginners and experts too. In the latter category the chutes and 400 acres of ungroomed powder accessed by the Northwest Express Quad are particularly welcoming. The powder is good stuff too - very light.

Located within an easy hour's drive from Seattle, The Summit at Snoqualmie offers winter recreation in the Emerald City's back yard. The Summit actually consists of four mountains -- Summit Central, Summit East, Summit West and Alpental -- each with its own appeal. The monster among them is Alpental, best suited to advanced and expert skiers with its 50% advanced terrain. Lodging is available at the base of the ski area at the Summit Inn.

Located on the slopes of snow-capped Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge built by master craftsmen during the Great Depression. The Lodge is entirely handmade, from its massive hand-hewn beams to its hand-woven draperies. The Lodge is surrounded by over a thousand acres of skiable slopes offering a wide variety of alpine terrain. With snow covering its highest peaks well into the summer months, Timberline ski area has the longest ski season in North America. Timberline is a very interesting resort in skiing history. Some of North America's earliest downhillers took to the slopes here in the first years of the twentieth century. Timberline offers the only summer glacier skiing in the United States, on the slopes of Mount Hood, and was also the location of the country's second ever chairlift, built in the late 1930s.

49 Degrees North Mountain Resort (just "49" to the regulars) offers adventures for everyone. Wide-open groomed runs, moguls, desert-dry powder, and hundreds of acres of legendary tree skiing.

Located on 1.9 million acres within the Colville National Forest, 49 is a genuine winter wonderland.

The day lodge offers ski shop, bar, cafeteria and nursery. The ski shop has numerous rental units, so you can be guaranteed to find the right equipment for your needs.

Located on the North East side of Mt. Hood you can find Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. Cooper Spur has been a family resort since 1927 when it was developed as a ski jumping hill. Most runs are for beginners and are a great place to learn how to ski or snowboard. You will find many lighted trails for night skiing, and with a purchase of a complete ski or board rental you can night ski for free. All children under 6 years old are able to ski free at anytime with a ticketed parent. If skiing or snowboarding is not what you're into then there are plenty of activities to please everyone in the family at Cooper spur including: snow tubing, snowshoe trails and 6.5 kilometers of cross-country trails. At the end of the day enjoy a nice warm home cooked meal.

Offering 1,240 vertical feet with 10 major runs ranging from beginner to expert, the Loup Loup keeps all its skiers and snowboarders satisfied. The hill is serviced by a year-old Poma Quad chair lift, installed in 1998 by a large community volunteer effort, that brings short lift lines and quick trips to the top. Another Poma surface lift and beginner rope tow give snow lovers a chance to practice their skills off the beaten path. Runs are groomed nightly by tiller-equipped snow cats, with plenty of off-pique adventure just outside the major runs. The Loup Loup also provides 25k of groomed cross-country trails from beginner to expert to telemark, with another 50k only 5 minutes away.

There is a wide variety of terrain for all ability levels making Mt. Ashland a good choice for the entire family.
