Stevens Pass Mountain Resort Review

Stevens is awesome. The trails are perfect for learning tricks

It was a bit crowded the day I went but either way, it was awesome! The staff were energetic and excited to have us. Great vibes here!

Awesome skiing!!! Nice facilities as well! Plus it's not overly resort-y!

Stevens pass is first place I learned to Ski. I had an amazing time.

Special thanks to the girl at the ticketing counter - Alyssa Olson. She did an incredible job of accommodating our group booking ( we didn't do this correctly at first). Great customer service can really turn around a bad day into an awesome day.

Also, please drive a 4-wheel drive or a monster truck. The parking lot just sinks in ice

The best stop before continuing your journey to the Northeast Washington area. Plus if great skiing, snowboarding, shops, and history of the area, etc.

Stevens Pass has a lot of runs and great terrain parks.

Parking lot tow crew ROCK. I parked in deep snow and got stuck. They came to my rescue. Great attitude!

Great snow and weather today! No crowds on a Wednesday

Too many people, but great services. Staff are serious about helping to the best of their abilities.

Very great attitude form everyone there, the lines were not too long, and they had all terrain.

Lots of options here early in the season, but low snow and only 6 lifts running. Night skiing starts the 15th of December this year.

I have skied most of the northwest resorts but this was the first time at Stevens, so an unbiased review for weekend skiing: We really tried to like it but it is extremely crowded. At least the lift lines move fairly well, but I repeat...crowded! Front side blue runs are fun. Lots and lots of "advanced(?) beginners" careening down the slopes and as a result the backside was some of the most unrelaxing skiing I've encountered in some time. Probably better when the snow is better. Which brings me to snow - why do they list runs as groomed when they obviously haven't groomed in last 24 hours? That's part of what I'm paying for but the resort failed. Maybe with the large crowds and no new snow they just give up. An odd quirk is that coming in to the base area from the bottom of the runs you either have to walk up a hill or take a short rope tow to get there. I couldn't see that you're really able to ski in there with a little momentum; maybe the crowd blocked my view.

Something for everyone, but limited runs in total. Can get crowded as close to Seattle. Worth driving further to Crustal Mountain or Steven's Pass

You have to go here! It is my go to place when I want to board or ski.

Totally sweet and has a laid-back local crowd. More of the snowboarding type of people but skiers with discretion are welcome

Before entering the German village
I parked into this ski resort
It s awesome here, someone has started skiing~

Fun mountain, but parking fills up early during ski season

This is my go-to mountain for boarding every year. Love the views, the tracks, the lodges, everything. The staff are generally helpful as well.

They also show customer appreciation - as demonstrated by their loyalty program given to those who decided to renew their season passes after a notably poor 2014-15 season.

Will keep boarding here for years to come!

Bathrooms are clean, food is great, employees are very helpful, and great snowboarding! Expensive places so be wary on what you buy. Located right off of hwy 2! Parking can be packed quickly so plan accordingly!

This is hands down the best mountain in Washington state. They use wind power, recycle and compost, and donate $2 for each ticket sales. Not to mention the GNARLIEST TERRAIN!

Great place to ski, not huge lineups during G weekdays.

Grounds are kept beautifully. Paths clearly marked even the parking restroom without plumbing is kept clean!!!

I work here and o
Play here

beautiful place. We were in the summer together with dozens of riders. Excellent riding. At the end we had a picnic at the tables nearby.

Great mountain with fun tree runs and off piste terrain. Don't discount the front side for powder stashes, Steven's has them hidden all over!

Great place to go for skiing, better snow than Snoqualmie! Better come early to get a parking spot near the lodge

It was closed when we went but we jst wanted to see the place. Price is a little expensive.

Great quick stop be it on the way home from a weekend on the slopes or heading home.

I hiked with my family after riding up the chair lift. Very scenic and lots of fun. Ate lunch at the lodge. Sat on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine and scenery.

Stevens Pass is my family's home mountain and s great place to ski and snowboard. Lots of mixed terrain and great snow. When it's raining at Snoqualmie......it's snowing at Stevens....

Great place to ski. Great staff and nice local feel. Food in the lodge is good well priced and pints are only $6. The ski terrain is good and the snow varies.

Mountain is good and we like night snowboarding there. However my shoes were stolen from the rent zone last time and there were no cameras/any help from staff. So be careful.

Been skiing here since 1980. Fun, friendly and flexible ski area. Great atmosphere. Great there early on powder days .

I went for military appreciation day which is once a month for a great price. I was surprised it wasn't busy when I went for that day. I like how the lockers can be paid for for a day but 9$ is alot for a locker. I used my car the 2nd time I went.
The ticket windows are a bit slow but its because they ask for id when getting an epic pass card and need information. The prices are the lifts are crazy for a regular day. Im glad i have a military epic for next season as even just going twice is worth it and you can avoid the ticket line and just show up at a lift. The ticket checkers at the lifts for the one day were super happy and were dancing to music which was awesome. And i kept falling when getting off the chair on top since im new and the people on top kept giving me advice on what to do. I like how the 2 chairs slow down on top which is nice to get your feet grounded when learning how to get off a chair on a board.
There is lots of choice for food there but so far ive only went into the drink/snack bar.
The slopes are great but for quiet the backside is a must. Plus I had more fun on the backside. I also look forward to doing some night boarding next year.

Love this ski area. Plenty of trails to explore for any level. Lots of lifts so the lines are not too bad even on the busiest days. Multiple restaurants, cafes and coffee shops for a variety of breakfast, lunch and apres options. Great night skiing. Parking can be an issue on weekends. Either come early (by 8am) or aim to arrive in the afternoon around 1pm when early folks start leaving and freeing up some spots.

Best ski area in the Seattle area. Consistent quality snow, great people and atmosphere

An amazing place for a day trip of skiing, snow shoeing or just hiking along deep snow covered trails

Everything was very clean and all of the people and staff were super nice and and they had good quality rental gear definitely would recommend for any age or skill level

Great ski resort with a variety of greens, blues, and blacks. Military discount is available. Parking can be a problem - we saw a few folks get iced in.

Great ski resort, even better lessons!

My wife and I haven't been skiing in 10 years and we did our research on the best options when leaving from Seattle. We chose Stevens and we are glad we did.

We got there early ( in the parking lot by 7:50) and everything was a breeze. Granted, we got there before the crowds. But, even after it got busy, the longest lift line was about 6-7 minutes.

My wife took a private lesson. She's a novice. Beth was AMAZING. She's an excellent instructor and got my wife comfortable on skiis like she had never been before.

I'm looking forward to taking a mogul lesson with Beth.

On top of all that, every single staffer at Stevens was very helpful and super friendly.

My one complaint is the checkin system for reservations is a bit clunky. We ended up needing help and it's easy to imagine the line getting backed up when lots of people show up at once.

We will definitely be back.

Parking can be a struggle at time but 9ver all best mount in PNW.

It's a great place to spend a day. I went downhill mountain biking there and the blue tail is awesome. I love all the ramps and banks

Love Stevens pass!! Just a great resort and great food and stuff

Although I am torn about the daily lift ticket price for the amount of terrain you get to ride, I have never jad a bad day on this mountain. I have made new friends and a ton of memories at this place. The staff is stellar, and one of Steven's greatest attributes. WARNING: leave early on the weekends.

Good surface for sure. Cat crew is doing a nice job. Thanks. 'Couple of thin spots around, so bring in a few more dumps of our customers NW fluff! Good day!

Always busy...plus more expensive than other Washington ski resorts

Crazy fun. Powder for daze! Love the new tickets, dont get lost anymore staying in jacket.

Its the Pass, when the snow and or dirt is good it absolutely crushes. Avoid crowds and the goons by going midweek. Amenities are top notch too

Great variety of intermediate to expert terrain, I ve seen better lodges though. Bring your own lunch though, the food is mediocre while expensive.

Very nice place for beginners and intermediate lovers of winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. A bit crowded on weekends, but it just stresses the quality of this resort. Very well maintained, professional employees, nice equipment (for rent). Lifts feel safe and rapid. The snacks and drinks little overpriced, but you can't expect anything else when see those lines in the afternoon I would highly recommend this beautifull place to anyone.

One of the beautiful place to do skiing and play with the snow... Best time to visit would be from Dec to Feb

Very disappointed, the hours should be until 4, however they closed the magic carpet at 3. And the others line are full of ice. They should offered discount for those condition.

Allot of snow and allot of fun sliding down mountain

Bull's Tooth bar, friendly people everywhere, great snow and terrain. And just far enough from the Rat Race. Laptops forbidden.

Unremarkable overcrowded ski resort with very limited parking and ancient lifts. If you're an Epic pass holder, there is no single reason to go there unless you're local and live very close to it. Otherwise, do yourself a favor: go to Whistler instead.

P.S. Extra star for nice mountain views on a sunny day.

Nice site. Too expensive for what you actually get. Lifts could use covers to protect from wind and snow.

Got here after the snow but before they opened. Had a blast hiking a section of the PCT in snowshoese

hood fun skiing good exposure on back side and 7th heaven
