The Summit at Snoqualmie Big changes are happening at The Summit at Snoqualmie. Alpental’s new Internationale Chair, dubbed by Powder magazine as “one of the most highly anticipated lifts on the continent,” boosts uphill capacity by 25 percent and marks the ski area’s most significant upgrade since 1967. Over at Summit West, the Wildside lift now features a sleek quad chair and improved night skiing visibility with LED lights. After hitting the slopes, unwind at Dru Bru. This craft brewery serves a rotating lineup of beers, from hoppy IPAs to seasonal stouts, all brewed on site. Pair your pint with a woodfired pizza or a warm pretzel while soaking in the cozy atmosphere and mountain views.
Loup Loup Ski Bowl Loup Loup Ski Bowl in Okanogan County offers a fantastic deal—kids 12 and under ski free with a parent’s lift ticket all season. After skiing, unwind at Twisp’s Methow Valley Ciderhouse, where local beers, ciders, burgers and brats set the relaxed tone, or check out Omak’s taverns. For cross-country skiing, Methow Trails in Mazama is a mustvisit, featuring nearly 44 miles of scenic loops. The trails cater to all levels, with stunning views of Driveway Butte, sunlit meadows and the dramatic Go at Wall.
