Visitor Reviews of Mission Ridge
Tyler Tuason from United States writes:
My first time at Mission was 1980. Being a local I never ride there since there is minimal snow pack since the early nineties. The North cascades are close and so much better. Let the families and gapers wearing one piece suits take it over. One of the best places to ski on the piste. Riding a board it's nothing but core shots on basalt.

As the sun pushes back the clouds, the adventure begins at Mission Ridge, in the heart of Washington State where the jagged peaks of the Cascade Range meet the high rugged desert of Eastern Washington. A volcanic past has created a ridge where snowcapped peaks shimmer one side and the Columbia River rolls majestically through Eastern Washington on the other. But don’t let the view distract you; Mission Ridge has over 2000 acres to explore. Carve tree lined groomers, float through wide-open bowls, wiggle through glades, or scream down narrow chutes. Experience the difference – the sunshine, the powder, the food and the fun – the memories last a lifetime.
