The best thing about Summit at Snoqualmie is its proximity to the Seattle Metro area. It's about 45…read moreminutes from the Eastside and about an hour and change from Seattle. That easy access allows for skiing after work or doing something else on a weekend afternoon after skiing in the morning. Other than the Alpental part of Summit at Snoqualmie, the ski area is pretty big, but not particularly exciting. It's pretty much a number of smaller ski areas along a ridge that got merged together. Vertical drop for Summit West, Summit Central and Summit East (Hyak) maxes out at about 1000 feet so none of the runs are particularly long. With base areas at a relatively low elevation, the quality of snow at all three of these areas is highly tied to changing weather conditions. What ends up being rain at the base elevation for Summit at Snoqualmie can be snow at Crystal Mountain's higher base elevation. Also, being at a lower elevation, conditions at Snoqualmie can also be subject to melt-refreeze cycles. Despite all of this, a season pass at Snoqualmie is a great deal. Ease of access allows for more days on the slopes.

Bit of a drive, but worth it for the snow. Wish that there was better communication from this…read moreresort when open hours are and when the season opens/closes because conflicting information from what is online vs what staff there tells me. Nice to have more runs for the green level so that I can totally warm up, but I like the blue runs for what they are. Appreciate that there is one freestyle run here, but would not mind if there was more. Staff is helpful and actually addresses concerns, but tend to be caught up in conversation with each other, so u feel a bit pushed to the side. Have to be able to speak up for yourself early on so that you are not just on standby. Parking is fine...just watch for the slush. The cleaners do their best to clear out the snow on the road so u do not have to pull out and use your snow chains.

The sky was blue and the air was crisp. It was a perfect day to learn how to cross country/ nordic…read moreski. About an hour after leaving Seattle we were up in the beautiful, magnificent mountains.... and ski lessons with skis and boots was only 59 dollars each! The lesson was 1.5 hours and mostly involved going around and around and around a small loop again and again and again with elderly people, children and some embarrassed adults. The instructor was funny and stayed on topic and did a good job of making sure each person got help. My one star off is that the ski lodge is too small and lots of people were eating their packed lunches on the floor. I couldn't find a water fountain to refill my water bottle. I read all the other reviews and knew not to buy any of the food there. The parking lot was insanely full when we left at 2 pm. We got to the lot at 9 am and had no problem parking near the lodge area and didn't need to wait in line to sign up for lessons. From the website: The Nordic Center typically operates from mid-December through early April. Since we rely on natural snow, opening and closing dates each season may vary due to snow conditions. Closing dates are also influenced by business levels. The Nordic Center is a WEEKEND operation for The Summit at Snoqualmie and maintains business hours Fridays (during peak season), Saturdays, Sundays, and some Holiday Periods. During hours of operation, The Summit Nordic Center is open from 9am-3:30pm. Standard drop-in group Lesson times are at 10:30am and 1:00pm.

Firstly I want to give a huge thank you to Barbie at the Nordic Center. I had had a terrible day…read moreand ended up skiing past closing time. Instead of being mad she was incredibly kind. She was worried about me and concerned for my safety. On a Friday night she stayed when she probably had plans after a long week risking her safety for customers during COVID, and, when I returned, was not mad but kind. The Mountain itself is lovely but a view of the lake mountains ascend. This year has been excruciating, and I am so thankful for people like Barbie and her staff who remain compassionate, selfless, and patient in the face of adversity. It was a lovely day and I will never forget it. The mountain is beautiful with lots of options. The trail is tough, for sure- after the bridge it is a climb the whole way, but if you stay patient, no matter if you get to the 12-km-up top or not, it's worth it. Thank you!!! I wish you, Barbie and staff, my best, and skiers: have fun! Be safe! Don't stay out too late! :)

The sun went down…read moreat 4:45pm, and the lights, music and staff made it one of our best memories over winter break. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! *Food: They have a college cafeteria-style option nearby, but we chose to eat in North Bend at the Iron Duck. Great kids menu, huge restaurant with plenty of seating - we had a long table with plenty of space. Food was delicious, and ample selections of ciders/beers. *Reservations: Super easy, but get on it! The Saturday options were mostly booked out over a week in advance. They offer day sessions, about 2 hours each (9:30am, 11a, 1:15p, 3:15p) and night sessions (5:15p, 7:15p). The website is simple enough, be ready to sign waivers. *Drive/parking: Easy to find off (and not far from) the freeway using GPS. The parking lot needs more signage! We weren't completely sure we found it with all the snow and rain. *Go around a bend to the right, and you'll see a little ticket cabin with windows. *Staff: WONDERFUL. From check-in using our e-mail to the staff on the hill, they were all smiles. *Tubing: Awesome!! Our time was 5:15 - 7pm, but with the 4 year old, we were done about 6:40pm. We were able to go up to the hill constantly without much waiting. Everything is provided for you - sledding tube (we took the kids on it with us, or two 7-8 year olds together) and tram to take you back up so you don't get exhausted. Ah so fun. *Tips: Snow gear is a MUST. Boots, gloves that tighten under coats, etc. Bring a change of clothes for the little ones in the car. This saved us as a few toes got wet. Thank you Summit!

I'm giving this a full 5 stars because all of the pros outweigh the cons…read more We registered for the 9am session on New Years Eve which is about 1 hour and 45 mins, and cost around $45 per person over 44" tall. Our large group was full of littles and adults alike. The tube is included and the staff were friendly and clear on rules and guidelines. Please note, there are port a potty's ...ewww, I know! But these were clean at 9am. You'll need to change in your car or come dressed for the weather. The tube hill is a hike, so be warned you'll get your exercise. I wish my snow boots had a bit more traction, but I made it up and down about 5 times (taking a few potty breaks). There's a magic carpet, but the lines will be long and the carpet is slow for safety. There was plenty of parking and the roads were clear in the early AM. Can't wait to go again before the season ends!

I typically stick with hikes that are considered "easy", popular with families, and don't require hiking boots. This one fits the bill. At about 2 miles roundtrip (out and back), the trail is made up of well-kept dirt pathways and you'll experience a gradual incline of only about 400 feet. There were several short sets of wooden steps along the way, which were pretty easy to navigate since they were of even height and not too tall. Just be careful towards the end while heading down to the base of the falls. You'll go down a set of stone steps, then the pathway narrows and becomes pretty rocky with a jagged surface, so watch your footing and take it slow. You can also hang on to the rock wall on the right side for balance. I saw some people equipped with their hiking poles and hiking boots which would come in handy for this small section of the hike, however I was able to traverse it with my running shoes, taking small steps. I was grateful there weren't many bugs and the hike is mostly shaded by all the trees above. It was over 80 degrees on the day we went, but it felt like the 70s since we were never really in direct sun. The trail runs parallel to Denny Creek below, so for the duration of the hike, you can hear the tranquil sound of the flowing water. There are two sections of parking which cost $5 per day, unless you have the "Washington Forest Pass" or "America the Beautiful Pass". Toilets are located near the parking lots, but there are no sinks, so make sure to bring some hand sanitizer. During the summer, weekends can be pretty crowded, so I recommend going on a weekday for a more relaxed atmosphere. We went on a sunny Monday and there was plenty of parking left even when we headed out around noon.

Despite all these reviews we booked at the Summit Inn for the 4th of July because we waited until…read morethe last minute and this was the cheapest room. Our room was clean, the staff were extremely nice! It's truly not a very *nice* motel but I didn't feel gross and the amenities were about what I expected! Probably over priced but you're paying for the location? There were many broken down trucks outside our room's window and we almost adopted this little white fluffy dog that I think lives in the parking lot? He would not let us touch him, but we named him Concrete. We had pancakes for dinner at the diner, it was pretty good! But we do really like greasy spoon diners. Then went across the street to Dru Bru and had probably the best pretzel of my life and a beer before trying out the hot tub. Sauna was broken :( but hot tub was kinda cool. As in it was probably 2-3 degrees too chilly but big and tiled and interesting? We soaked twice during our stay! The place definitely has character, but it's not as bad (in my personal experience) as these reviews make it out to be in the slightest. We got gas station snacks and watched HGTV and went to bed early like adults it was lovely. 10/10 has Twin Peaks Energy and everyone needs to take themselves less seriously I think. There's espresso next door and awesome hikes close by. Would recommend.

We were looking for a fun adventure that the whole family could enjoy. My son had just turned 10…read moreand wanted to take one of his school buddies with him. We read the reviews online and called them to book our adventure. We were treated with kindness and respect from the time that we got there. We signed the requisite waivers and were told that the rapids head tamed down to class three which was very manageable and safe for the family. They outfit you with wet suits and boots and it's suggested that you bring your own hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Our guy took the time to get to know all the folks that were in our group and arranged us in the raft, according to our age and abilities. My son and his friend sat towards the back of the raft, which turned out to be the safest and driest location. After a short walk-through of expectations and paddling instruction, we got underway. Smooth sailing for the 1st mile or so, and then we hit our first group of rapids. The guy did an outstanding job of keeping us afloat and telling us which side to paddle aggressively, and which side to back off on. Throughout the day, this continued and we hit several more aggressive rapids that were challenging, but a lot of fun. Photographers are located throughout the course and will get some great pictures of your group as you head down the river. They are available for purchase at the end. Overall, a great experience and a great day with osprey rafting company. Highly recommended!

My family and I were treated with respect and attention to detail in the customer service received was excellent, even going out of their way to place phone calls to verify operation hours for the day for us on the hill. We will definitely recommend this location to all of our family and friends and will be stopping by again next time we are in the area. They do rental tubings in the summer to River flow and snow supplies in the winter for the nearby ski hill.
