Stevens Pass, USA - Washington

Stevens is the best place to ride in Washington State. Boasting the highest base elevation in the state, this versatile all around Mt has everything & anything you could want. The front is great for the beginners, nice long flowing runs most of which are lit for night skiing. The park is without a doubt the best in the state. It’s all about the flow baby, from the minute you drop in & pick from one of the 3 lines, small/med/man size every hit leaves you perfectly on the down side & with perfect amt of set up time for the next hit without losing any speed. Various rails, hips, tables & spines give each line their own unique touch leading to hours & hours of park fun. The crown jewel of the park, & the best jump in the state is the waterfall kicker, usually hitting 6-7’ high at the lip & with a downhill so long it’s almost impossible to over shoot. This perfect booter takes advantage of the natural slope of the hill, & is placed right under the park chair for maximum visibility. This park gives you the chance to go as big as you want & unlike some of the other area resorts this park flows perfectly. The pipe is solid, partially dug in so it opens early, usually well maintained so it’s fun to ride. Last season they started the park pass system, making you watch a short safety video, & is guarded by the park crew who check your park pass. not a bad price to pay to keep the fools who have no business in the park. Now if you are not stoked yet there is 7th heaven & the back side. bowls, steeps, trees, shoots, cliffs, it’s all there. Last year was my 1st season as a pass holder at Stevens, & we found more secret spots, hidden bowls, & crazy shoots than I can count, & I know there are countless more to be found. There is some reasonable in bounds hiking to access some other peaks, so power can almost always be found in bounds. I started my 1st day of the 07-08 season chest deep in uncut powder at Stevens pass, & I spent my last day of the season chest deep in uncut powder. Check the snow reports, because in WA conditions can change fast, but if you hear of a big storm coming, & freezing level is around 2000ft, you will find yourself experiencing heaven on earth at Stevens pass on a good powder day.

Stevens pass local for life!! Or till I move from Washington state.
