Mission Ridge is known for its 2000 acres of terrain and its never-ending sun. With an average of 25 days of sunshine a month, everyone is sure to be in good spirits on the mountain. Located on the eastern slopes of the northern Cascades, Mission Ridge is all about powder. Its dry climate and low temperatures lead to longer lasting, fluffier snow. And if Mother Nature is just not providing, Mission Ridge's recently upgraded snowmaking equipment is at the ready to help her along.

Mission Ridge is a great Washington resort for more experienced skiers and riders. The majority of the mountain's 36 runs are cruising terrain built for intermediate level skiers. Advanced skiers can enjoy moguls, chutes, trees, bowls, and a variety of steeps to choose from. The advanced level is further served by the 2,270 foot vertical drop on the mountain. Despite the focus on more advanced skiers, beginners can still find a niche on the mountain and there are six lifts to get you to your corner. Boarders are allowed to roam free on the entire mountain, and a new terrain park provides additional entertainment for those looking to try out some air.
