Overall

4.1

With drier, colder and essentially better powder here than the Cascade Concrete at other Washington ski areas, Mission Ridge is a worthwhile visit. The down-to-earth resort offers an impressive 2,000 ac of terrain, most of which is best suited for intermediates and advanced skiers and snowboarders. The resort is also known for its family-friendliness and after a fun day of skiing, nearby Wenatchee provides affordable lodging and dining.

Uncrowded NE facing terrain with decent non ritzy accomadations only 20 minutes away in the nice town of Wenatchee. Staff is super chill. RV parking for many, and on hill and base area amenities.... More

Smaller resort right outside of Wenatchee. The one time I was there it was an icy day. Still had fun but would be much better on a snow day. The Terrain seemed steep in places which would be great on a powder day. The lifts were long and slow moving but it wasn’t crowded.... More

I ski at lots of resorts around Washington. By far the best resort to ski for any level. The resort is like one big family with huge ties in the community. Live bands, pray for snow concerts and so friendly for everyone. Parking is always easy and have people walking around that will help take your gear up! Lift lines are short and then snow is... More

Mission Ridge is the perfect place to take the family. There are runs for every level of skier and cool things to see like the WWII bomber wreckage on one run. The views from the top of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. We love this place!... More

The best skiing in the PNW?? I think so! The snow is light and fluffy, rarely concrete. The instruction here is top-notch. The people here practically invented proper snowmaking. If not, they perfected it. The night skiing is great, the season-long events are great, the atmosphere is great. Oh, and the views of Mt. Rainier and the rest of the... More

Awesome place with great variety of terrain. Lots of hidden runs and tree shots. Short hike to off piste areas that's always have great snow. Little to no lines besides the initial line in the morning.... More

A big, powdery mountain ridge high on the "dry" side of the Cascade Range for all types of skiers, with uncrowded slopes and lots on snow way into spring. It was my last stop on a grand Northwest tour in May, 2017. Grand view of the Columbia River desert way below; awesome rock cliffs; inexpensive lodging and restaurants near Wenatchee in... More

Great little resort with a surprisingly large amount of varied terrain. Being on the east side of the Cascades, powder quality here is great as well, none of the typical West Coast slush you might be used to.
