You could spend all day on Northway , but if it's a pow day you should end your day with a short hike from the new Chair 6 to the Throne for a long and awesome top to bottom run.

Shawn McVay

Fun site to visit and just walk around in the summer. The Gondola ride is well worth the money and it helped that our dogs were allowed.

Jaysheel Shah

Multiple options of ski-lifts.However the lessons get filled pretty soon. Definitely worth visiting. Try the shuttle from Bellevue/Seattle

Chris Gardner

The best. If it is your first time, take the class . Instructors are awesome.

Sophia Johnson

if you get the hot chocolate from the cafeteria be sure too add one or two ice cubes if you want to drink it right away

Henderson James

Great place to ski . Grab lunch at Campbell Basin Lodge before the rush. The teriyaki rice bowl is good way to refuel.

Beth Neibert

Allow time at the top to relax in the summer chairs and enjoy this view .

David Stein

Fun mountain , some of my friends had trouble finding terrain that wasn't either way above or way below their skill level.

Reginald Campbell

Hit bear pits by continuing past Lucky Shot's front-face curve and ducking into the trees - a wealth of powder and tight little chutes await.

Summer time paths are abundant and go all over the mountain . Don't think for a moment that the slope trails are not worth your time.
