Stevens Pass ski resort is probably the best ski resprt in Washington. Some people may disagree with that but nothing else would really classify as ski resort that can also accomidate newschool riding. If you know the mountain you can find hidden areas where there are hand-rails. I know of nowhere else that you can find that stuff. Mt. Baker is nice but the people there are jackasses the locals are all snowboarders from western washington university. Crystal is nice but everyone is about skiing courderroy runs, and I am not even gonna talk about mission ridge or snoqualamie pass. There is only one bad thing about stevens and that is the lift costs. Bastard people need to quit letting people use their seasons passes because it screws everyone else over. Stevens pass needs money and because of those people the rates are rising rapidly. The powder is killer.
