MSTP is getting a rope tow just for the park! If y'all havent been, its worth a visit. The crew is rad, they do a great job, and the vibes are killer. Also a beer garden and firepit near the top. Skiing around dusk up there in the spring when the snows still soft. Ahhh, nothin better. Pretty exciting, that's all. Happy summer

I love Spokane for skiing. A few hours drive to the powder highway in British Columbia, not terribly far to Bozeman, and close to the Cascades. Mt Spo has a great culture at the park, some really really good skiers too. Spokane is great imo, lots of people hate on it, but it's the weekend trip city. Mt Spokane is 45 mins from downtown, and there are 4 other great mountains with unique things to offer within a 2 hr drive. The city gets some good snow for urban, and the young bluds are hungry. Set up a tube at a local park on a snow day, 50+ kids showed up by noon with more tubes and rails to ski.

Stoked for Mt. Spokane.

I can’t recommend skiing there enough, especially if you’re in the mood for unique rail setups. I’ve only been there a few times in the last 6ish years since moving away, but their parks have been fantastic on those visits.

Plus, the views from Mt. Spo on a clear day are beautiful. And it’s cheap. And they have night skiing.

As for Spokane as a whole, I love it. Right at the sweet spot of affordable and proximate to nature.

Excited to try the rope tow this winter when back in town.

Its such a sick park. I skied it for 6 years pretty consistently and the crew there does an amazing job. I drew up an idea for a tube set up and they gave it a try, even though it ended up not being that great. Its a park that is pretty evenly split skiers vs snowboarders, but the vibes are so supportive and filled with stoked. More than once when I was hiking a rail with snowboarders and finally got a trick I had been working on, multiple snowboarders would come congratulate me after the fact. Now with a rope tow, it will be the utopia skiers and snowboarders have been looking for.

I had heard this was happening from some of my past coaches that work at Mt. Spokane. Couldn’t be happier that they are leaning into the park scene there. We need more mountains like Mt. Spokane in the sport that are non-profit, easy to access and allow people to enter the sport with a lower cost of entry.

skied there as a kid growing up before moving to Oregon but still have a love for small hills as a result. Something about the sound of a riblet chair is so nostalgic. If anyone is in that area I would encourage you to make a visit, and check out the new backside lift if you haven’t been since they added that.
