Hey guys, been a long time since I've been on NS but I just moved up to the PNW with skiing as the main draw and I'm trying to figure out what resort is best in the Seattle area.

I'm living in Snohomish getting residency for school, I'll be at WWU next fall so next year it's gonna be all about baker but for now I need to figure out which mountain to work/ski at!

Btw, I've got a truck with a camper on the back so distance isn't really a factor, I'll be based out of Snohomish but staying on site for work days

Help a brotha out!

I use to live right by snohomish, in the Mill Creek area, and when i was up there I rode Stevens pass, since its the closest. Crystal has got some sick terrain though, and since I moved down closer to tacoma I'll be riding Crystal next year. But if I were you i'd probably pick Stevens as your main mtn

Thanks cobra, i'll keep that in mind.

thanks for the input espen, I was thinking stevens but then I figured hey might as well ask NS.

How is Snoqualmie? Alpental is supposed to be pretty sick right?

guess I should have put a little more info in the original post, I'm mostly into all-mountain/big-mountain/cliffs but I do like to hit the park on the daily, looking for jumps in the 40-70 range lots of rails

Not a huge fan of snoqualmie. Baker, stevens, and crystal are my go tos. Stevens for the most part because I love night skiing.

Loup Loup, 49 degrees north, and I even hear there is a hill outside Leavenworth called Badger mountain? Not sure if its still called that. Pretty much the only good skiing anywhere, except >10,000 ft on Rainier
