Stevens Pass has been around for over 70 years, and although its humble beginnings have been improved through intense modernization, one can still feel the mom and pop ambiance of which this mountain is so proud. Stevens has a little of something for everyone. Located in the north-central part of the Cascades Mountain range, Stevens Pass has some of the most diverse terrain in the entire state of Washington. Add to the varied terrain, the option of choosing between the mountain's groomed front side and its "wilder" back slopes, and you have a complex that is guaranteed to provide an adventure for all skill levels.
