    Location & Getting There

    Located in northeastern Washington, 49 Degrees North sits just 10 miles from the historic town of Chewelah and about an hour north of Spokane. The drive through the Colville National Forest sets the mood for a true mountain experience. The resort's position on the eastern slope of the Cascades often means better weather and lighter, drier snow than its western Washington counterparts. This accessible yet uncrowded location makes it a favorite among locals and visitors seeking authentic mountain adventure.

    Season Info

    49 Degrees North typically operates from late November through early April, capitalizing on northern Washington's reliable snowfall. The area receives an average of 300 inches of annual snowfall, with the mountain's northern location helping preserve snow quality throughout the season. Winter brings legendary powder days, while spring offers sun-soaked skiing with views stretching across the Colville National Forest to the Selkirk Mountains.
