With an average of 460 inches of annual snowfall, the resort transforms into a snow-covered playground offering 1,125 acres of diverse terrain. The mountain features 52 major runs across both sides of the Cascade divide, creating distinctly different skiing experiences on its eastern and western aspects. Old-growth forests frame perfectly spaced glades, while open bowls provide expansive views of surrounding peaks.
