Review of Stevens Pass Mountain Resort

On a sunny, previously snowy day, Stevens Pass is ...

On a sunny, previously snowy day, Stevens Pass is purely glorious, and that's whether or not you ski. (Obviously, on a rainy or too warm day, don't even think about it.)
With multiple parking lots and a free shuttle to the ski areas, it's convenient and easy to hit the slopes. Just be mindful of busy times and arrive early if you can.
They've got two main "lodges," which are large buildings incorporating restroom facilities, basic restaurants, seating areas and ticket counter for lifts, plus a medium sized gear shop that stocks such necessities as red ski pants suspenders and Stevens Pass stickers, along with mittens and jackets, etc.
My family member who skis had a great time, finding a lift with no lines on a busy Sunday, while other peeps were knee deep in lines for other lifts. I mention this because it was similarly the situation regarding the ladies room. One lodge had a line 30 people deep. Walk across the way and up the steps to the other one, and there was no line whatsoever. So be aware and check out not just what everyone else is doing.
Regarding skiing, when we purchased a lift ticket for one day, but couldn't use it cuz the lifts were closed due to high winds, the ticket counter honored the purchase for the following day when conditions were perfect.
Stevens Pass is great for all ages. It's beautiful and they have safety guys all over the place. Once thing: bring your own food and beverages if you can. Lines for coffee and meals can be insane during peak times. Have fun!
