It's been an incredible first weekend of the 2021-22 winter season and it's almost time for night skiing at The Summit!
Night skiing at Summit Central begins this week on Tuesday, Dec 21 with night skiing until 10pm. This summer, we upgraded night ski lighting on Central Express to LED lighting to brighten up your night. We plan to open Summit West and Silver Fir for night skiing next week. Just like years past, night skiing at Alpental begins the first week of January.
Visit the hours page for the full operational schedule and to see if night skiing is running when you're planning to hit the slopes.

We're planning to open the Tubing Park tomorrow Friday, Dec 17!
As we build more lanes and conditions allow, we may release additional tickets. If your desired date and session are sold out, consider checking back later. However, the release of additional inventory is conditions dependent and not guaranteed.

Summit West will be open 9am-4pm
We plan to go straight into daily operations right away. Summit West will be open daily through the holidays and then switch into its normal schedule.
We are eager to open more areas, lifts and terrain as conditions allow. With more snow in the forecast for early this week and possibly more later in the week, Summit Central, Silver Fir, and Alpental might not be too far behind Summit West.
Conditions permitting, we plan to open for night skiing starting December 21.
The Tubing Park is not open yet, but we hope to make an opening announcement this week! Snow tubing tickets will go on sale when we announce an opening for the season. Tubing tickets are limited and do sell out.
Keep up those snow dances and stay tuned for more news!

Summit West to open on Tuesday, December 14.
Get ready, the day you've been waiting for is about to arrive! The Summit at Snoqualmie will open to passholders for the 2021-22 winter season on December 14th at Summit West. This week mother nature provided heaps of snow and thanks to over a foot of fresh that fell Friday night, we now have enough to start preparing the mountain for opening. The first two days of operations will be limited, and for Summit & Ikon passholders only.
We plan to go straight into daily operations right away. Summit West will be open daily through the holidays and then switch into its normal schedule.
We are eager to open more areas, lifts and terrain as conditions allow. With more snow in the forecast for early this week and possibly more later in the week, Summit Central, Silver Fir, and Alpental might not be too far behind Summit West.
