Enjoy skiing, comfortable accommodations and the stunning scenery when you visit this lovely Wenatchee mountain resort.
Mission Ridge Activities

For the adrenaline junkie, a favorite Mission Ridge activity is snowboarding. If those skis aren’t fast enough for you, a snowboarding adventure is just what you need!
Mission Ridge Ski Resort also offers ski and snowboard lessons for both children and adults. You can choose from private lessons, group lessons, and multi-week lessons.
Mission Ridge In The Summer

Bike or jog in the area to get a look at the mountainous environs of the resort. You can also take a hiking excursion up the slopes of the mountain to get in touch with nature and escape from the city for a while. The highlight of a summer trip, for many visitors, is a chance to experience a ride in the ski lift up the mountain.
