Mission
Ridge - Our ski area in Wenatchee. Central Washington
- east side
of the Cascades. Draw an"X" on the map of WA from corner to corner for us!
The driest snow in the state; real powder. This snow is comperable to Utah
or Colorado as it is 40 miles away from the Cascade crest. The best place
to skiing in Washington state (but I'm not bias!). Elevation
range: Base 4,570', Midway 5300', Top 6,820'
