TIMBERLINE
TURNER MOUNTAIN
Libby, Mont. • skiturner.com 2,110 vertical feet • 25 runs Located in northwestern Montana in the mountains of the Kootenai National Forest, Turner Mountain has the best fall-line skiing in the Northwest, hands down. Find it on a powder day, and you’ll have an experience of a lifetime. This mom-and-pop operation offers a little over 2,000 feet of leg-burning goodness, with more than 60 percent of the terrain geared for expert skiers. A short drive from the small town of Libby, it’s even available for private rental.
Whistler, B.C. • whistlerblackcomb.com 5,280 vertical feet • 200 runs Whistler/Blackcomb, two hours north of Vancouver, won over the world as host of the 2010 Olympic Games. But to Northwest skiers and boarders, it needs no introduction. A premier ski destination with incredible terrain (8,100 acres, 16 alpine bowls), massive amounts of snowfall (an annual average of 469 inches), a sophisticated lift system (37 of them) and spectacular amenities, Whistler/Blackcomb has more than enough to keep you entertained, from first tracks through après-ski enjoyment.
WHITE PASS
Naches, Wash. • skiwhitepass.com 2,050 vertical feet • 45 runs Located on scenic U.S. Highway 12, White Pass offers amenities you might find at bigger resorts but with half the number of people. The mountain has a nice mix of rolling terrain, great tree skiing, terrain parks and a healthy number of cross-country trails. Add beautiful views of nearby Mt. Rainier, onmountain lodging and dining options, and this is a true gem located 50 miles west of Yakima.

WHITEFISH MOUNTAIN RESORT
Whitefish, Mont. • skiwhitefish.com 2,350 vertical feet • 102 runs Whitefish is getting bigger this season, adding four new intermediate runs. The mountain already offers commanding views of Glacier National Park, Whitefish Lake and the surrounding mountains. The terrain expansion is phase one of a two-year project to expand intermediate terrain. There are endless options for how to experience a Whitefish ski adventure, ranging from how to get there (train, plane or automobile), where to stay (the mountain, downtown or in between at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake) and the sheer amount of terrain available. Bowls, steeps, private stashes and wide-open groomers are all at your fingertips.
WHITEWATER SKI RESORT
Nelson, B.C. • skiwhitewater.com 1,300 vertical feet • 46 runs Whitewater, nestled in the shadows of Ymir Peak outside the funky, eclectic town of Nelson, B.C., regularly attracts attention from around the world from those searching for steeps, deep snow, and a variety of chutes, bowls and glades. In 2010, Whitewater completed its first major terrain expansion in 34 years, adding a triple chair and access to 750 acres of new terrain.
Freeride Media
Timberline Lodge, Ore. • timberlinelodge.com 3,690 vertical feet • 41 runs The only resort in the Northwest open year-round — almost. Timberline typically celebrates two season openers, one for winter, the other for summer, and boasts an 11-month ski season. This mountain offers old-world charm with the historic lodge at the base area, and new-school skiing and riding with an immense amount of freestyle terrain. Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Hood, Timberline is truly the most unique ski resort in the Northwest.
