Mission Ridge Ski Resort Review

Amazing views, no long lanes on ski lifts, close to lifts and always available parking.

Just hiked up the pipeline trail all the way back to devils gulch. Very nice spot.

I absolutely love Mission Ridge! Amazing powder snow, great runs for snowboarders, and delicious food!

Incredible dry snow peak season and impeccable groomers. Food and beer are also on point.

Best Little Big Mountain in Washington!
Super People, Super Powder!

Coming from the west side of the mountains it's pleasant to have low volume lift lines and dry powdery snow. Snow base was quite low, about 28 in. But cover was adequate for full Mountain use. Had to watch out for a few rocky patches. Staff was very nice. Getting to the mountain from Wenatchee is very easy. Parking lot was easy to navigate.

Great resort for intermediate skiers - lots of good grooming and never any lift lines.

Nice terrain, pleasant staff. Was wishing for more snow.

Extremely rude service at the restaurant, waiter Cory was impatient and rude from beginning to end. We had finished our meal and waited 20 mins and he never came back , So we went and stood at the bar to check out and waited another 10 mins while he waited on a less then half full restaurant, I asked Mort if he would be able to help us check our cause we have been waiting a long time and he began to yell at me he has been helping people all day long... what do you want from me?! ... he can t split our check and our waiter will be right with us . I stopped talking to him immediately and turned away and he continued to confront me and was very rude I had to ask him to stop!
I have never been treated so rudely, very disappointed in our community!

Management is phony and doesn't actually care about the sport or the community, they're biased towards boarders and have even gone as far as banning and threatened to press criminal charges on them for hiking in and taking some runs, which is representative of where their true values are as a resort and their claims for being supportive about outdoor recreation. They should be supporting people who are willing to go out and take a break from all the chaos that's going on at a time like this. If they truly had any values for the winter sports, they would be more than willing or being more than okay with people going out of their way to enjoy their life on the property. All they care about is how to make more money for themselves which should be taken into account when considering their true motives for their expansion plans going forward.

The mountain has the best park crew, & the grooming is fantastic!

Great snow...smallish ski hill. Wonderful view of Mt. Rainer

Best burgers in town. Friendly professional staff. Reasonable prices, for a resort. Fun music & events. Parking is helpful w staff to assist.

Some of the best grooming in the PNW. Great off-piste and lots of sunshine. The beer bread at the mid lodge is better than cake.

Excellent skiing inspite of less snow than most local ski areas. Top can be windy but has outstanding views on nice days. Good food but the two lodges are often very crowded at meal time.

Such friendly people here, locally owned and they really care about their guests, no insane crowds like Stevens Pass gets, drier over here too and they have full daycare for the little ones, love Mission!

Been there only a couple of times, but fun skiing. A bit weather dependent.

Awesome Mountain, friendly people, and apparently (judging by the lack of crowds) a secret.

Visited for first time and really liked it. Views are great, snow is very dry, and reasonably priced compared to Stevens. Only thing really missing is a good terrain park, the current terrain parks are a bit small (and the one with tow rope is a bad idea for heavier guys because the rope ruins your gloves quite fast if you are on the heavier side).

Took the family on a Tuesday over winter break, no lines whatsoever! Found some great trails off the main runs, got in some great powder turns. Love me some Mission Ridge

Love skiing at mission ridge not a lot of lines. I go there every weekend

Best mountain around. Always perfect groomers and friendly workers.

Short on snow so far this year so it seems like a lot on man-made, but that's better than not skiing at all. Overall a fun place to ski. No lift lines and Monday parking was no problem, but I've been there on weekend (combined with much more snow) when the parking was a challenge. As others have noted I'd like to see some on-slope improvements. A good chance for a bluebird day at Mission.

Been riding here for 35 years and the terrain is underrated. Can't say enough about how much I love this mountain, we ran pow laps without seeing another person. The only complaint was that the chairs were constantly slowing down or stopping, this never happened before. But it was dumping clean, dry powder all day so I can't stay mad for long. Did I mention, no lines.

We love this spot! Friendly staff, awesome kids lessons. Good runs for a one day trip. Reasonably priced.

One of my favorite ski resorts in all of Washington. Perfect for intermediate skiers.

Mission ridge has much lighter fluffier snow compared to most ski resorts in Washington state (Stevens is iciest). I always suggest this resort to California transplants.

Small resort feel with an incredible amount of diverse terrain - I can see why people come back to Mission year and year!

Such a fun place to be. The kitchen in the lodge is outstanding.

Lots of steep blues and the driest powder within a 15 minute drive from Wenatchee.

Great mountain, great staff, overall a very pleasant experience

Favorite place! Great terrain, great personnel, great patrol!

First time visiting this resort and it was a great experience. The staff are friendly, the snow quality was good and the views stunning. We'll definitely be back.

Great place to learn how to ski and for advance levels!

The best place on Earth!
Tickets are$69
Rentals are $30

10/10

Great place overall. We have been skiing at this place for the last 7 years. Great snow. Rarely icy. Good price. Small line, even during high seasons. Great for family with young kids. Great well maintained runs.

Great small ski area with some of the best snow in the Northwest.

Poor management. Slow chairs. Over priced. Park no longer exists.

My kids had a great lesson from Wolfe today! He was a great instructor!

Great place to go skiing or boarding in central Washington. They offer a variety of beginner or advanced trails. The lodges offer great meal and drink options.

Awesome place. Only 4 lifts, 1 being a high speed quad but the mountain is always well manicured and cared for.

Very friendly and great lessons for our kids who were on a retreat and first timers. Good place to escape the crowds. Slow lifts but long runs.

Local family ski resort. Would be great on a powder or sporting day. They get less snow than others, but still have good coverage and marked obstacles. Mid mountain food and beer, nice big deck at main lodge.

Great hill with more difficult slopes

Friendly staff

Would visit again

Fun place to ski. great snkw and lots of blue bird days

Beautiful location, friendly staff and host to the Special Olympics. I will be back

This place is rad. A hidden gem in Washington. Best views of any mountain I've been to. Took my wife there for the first time this last winter to learn to ski. She had been once before and wasn't excited to try again. After 4 days of skiing at Mission she's ready to take up the sport!

Mission Ridge is honestly a good resort. It isnt the biggest and it is mainly aimed towards skiers but the runs are decent and the lines are never too long. good for beginners.

This is such a nice resort for a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Stevens, Crystal and Snoqualmie. I love it here.

Awful service from rental check out to restaurant. Staff inconsiderate, rude and obviously hate their jobs and portray that on people just trying to enjoy the weather and the resort. Very sad.

Staff are a bit over zealous and touchy. Mountain is good.

Dragged myself to Mission on 1/27/18 and parking was already full before open. Managed our way through the lines for one run on chair 2 before they closed for wind. Weak

One of the best days I've ever had on a mountain. 4" of the dryest blower powder, blue bird all day, no wind... perfect. The view alone is worth the trip. Great time, great memories.

Great resort, every staff member friendly and very helpful! Way pricey, But worth it!

We went there to hike the trails and it is beautiful.

Great place, lots of fun. Love the staff Tiffany amazing!

I'm not a skier but I like to go up their just to have a nice lunch and people watch. They views are beautiful. Nice outdoor fire on the deck to warm up by. Generally, just fun to hang out and watch the skiers.

I've snowboarded at Mission for a few years now, even worked on the Lift Ops crew. It's a great mountain no matter your experience. It also has great hiking trails during the winter or summer.

Best local slopes around, the staff is great and the snow is better

Tried Summit at Snoqualmie Pass and Ski Hill in Leavenworth and this place we love the most.
It is best place from very beginner to pro.
Also the prices are second to none.

Small ski resort with 4 lifts. Daycare and/or children ski lessons available. Great for beginners.

My young family learned to ski here. Incredibly friendly staff, easy, family feeling. We love Mission Ridge.

Very nice ski resort. Full of blue runs that are not too hard but fun. We enjoyed our long weekend here.

Close nice snow good service but they should stay open 7 days a week

Home town mountain with views for miles. My happy place.

Mission ridge is a cool school in soccer they are the best but there whinners

I love "The Ridge" Go night sking!!! Followed by a few in the lodge to warm up!!

The local ski resort. Best Feature: Only 15 minutes from town

Excellent mountain! Great runs, great service, great price. The views are amazing AND they have childcare. Well worth the long drive from Seattle. My family had a great time and we will be back.

Terrible management ruined the trip. Would not recommend going.

Cons:
-Mountain doesn't get much snow.
-The wind is pretty bad here, the summit quad (chair 2) gets shut down a fair amount because of it.

Pros:
-The mountain opens early in the year due to snowmaking, although with very limited terrain
- there is a lot of open territory on the mountain and the chairs are placed in good locations to access most of it.
- the season pass is low cost, and free tickets to other mountains pay for the pass itself.
- a good mix of run difficulty and terrain.

- staff is friendly and helpful

Absolutely loved it! Amazing place to teach my 5 year old how to board.

Best home town ski hill anywhere with great varying terrain for all levels.

Great place to ski and snowboard from beginners to advanced
