Opening Day at Summit West

Summit West

The Wait is Over!

Here we go, winter 2024-25 is finally here! Our base depth doubled over the weekend, giving us enough snow to make the announcement you’ve been eagerly awaiting. We're stoked to share that the season kicks off this Tuesday, Dec. 17th at Summit West.

As usual, opening day is for Summit at Snoqualmie and Ikon passholders only.

We can't wait to get the lifts spinning and welcome you back to Your Home Mountain. Join us for a fun opener, plus First Chair prizes and more at Pacific Crest.

Opening Day Details

Opening day is reserved for Summit at Snoqualmie and Ikon passholders.

  • Planned Lifts: Pacific Crest, Little Thunder, Julies, Dodge Ridge.
  • We hope to add a carpet as well
  • Wildside will not be open, but we plan to open it very soon!

Summit West is scheduled to run 9am-4pm all week and lift tickets are available starting Wednesday, Dec. 18th.

Caution: Thin Cover!
Take it easy! While we received quite a bit of snow recently, snow coverage is still thin out on the mountain. Always look ahead and watch for marked and unmarked hazards, as well as depressions. These early season conditions mean skiing and riding can be more challenging than with a deeper snowpack and more groomed trails. Conditions and coverage will definitely be best on the main runs. Due to snow depth, we might not be able to groom, check the trail report in the morning for grooming status.

Our team is turning their attention to Summit Central and Alpental next. Opening day for both of those areas is still TBD (as of 12/15), but we plan to get them open as soon as possible.

Our target for night skiing operations is next week, as long as snow coverage allows.

Summit East and the Nordic Center have a scheduled opening of December 26th as long as snow depth and conditions permit.
