By Lily Krass<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re trying to knock out a full calendar year of skiing,<\/strong> it\u2019s hard to deny the Washington Cascades are a worthy place to be. Frothy, bottomless days in the winter compliment a stellar spring season when the sun pops back out. Then the snow sticks around up high through the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the Pacific Northwest isn\u2019t just a skiing paradise. Endless shoulder-season activities help keep you active and quench your thirst for adventure year-round. No single blog post can cover the breadth of landscapes, hideouts, playgrounds, and vistas this region serves up. But whether you\u2019re a longtime Northwest native or a traveler looking to explore new places, this guide will get you started. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall<\/b><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve always thought of fall as Outdoor Enthusiast Hype Season. When the first snow lands in the mountains, you feel like a 10-year-old on Christmas morning. Chinook and Cayuse Pass (on the West side of Mount Rainier National Park) close from late November through the end of May, but if the snow starts to fall a little earlier, it can be a great place to sneak up high for some early season turns. <\/span><\/p>\n

Got wheels? Bikers enjoy full-on Hero Dirt when the trails strike that perfect balance of moisture and sunshine. Pedal right out of downtown Bellingham, and spend an afternoon at the Galbraith Bike Park. With 50 miles of singletrack over 3,000 acres, Galbraith has something for everyone, from fast flow trails to adrenaline-inducing jump lines. <\/span><\/p>\n

On foot, hikers and trail runners relish crisp afternoons when vibrant changing leaves refract the sun\u2019s rays. For miles of golden foliage, hit the Skyline Divide Trail in the Mount Baker Wilderness. It\u2019s one of Washington\u2019s most scenic trails, especially in autumn. Run through colorful meadows filled with wildflowers, and soak in views of the tall peaks you\u2019ll be skiing come springtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter<\/b><\/h3>\n

Rain down low (hopefully) means snow up high. That\u2019s the mantra that gets city dwellers through quiet, grey winters in the Cascades, anyway. We may not have 300 days of sunshine like the Centennial State, but resorts in Washington boast some of the highest snow totals in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

In-Bounds Pick: <\/b>Crystal Mountain<\/span><\/p>\n

Just two hours from Seattle, Crystal offers the most skiable terrain\u20142,600 lift-served acres\u2014in Washington.\u00a0A base-to-summit gondola drops skiers in front of a postcard view of Mount Rainier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The High Campbell lift\u2014more often referred to as Chair 6\u2014is\u00a0the place to go if you like steep terrain and are willing to work for it. Hop off the lift and traverse skier\u2019s right across Campbell Basin. Drop into the bowl to end up right back at the lift, or continue on to hike the Throne. Here, a quick bootpack gets you to Southback, Crystal\u2019s legendary in-bounds hike-to terrain. A trip into Southback involves a rollercoaster of tight traverses, sidestepping, and bootpacking. Then there’s the long, flat traverse back out. Wide open bowls, steep chutes, glades, and cornice hucks make it worth the trip. (<\/span>Southback is controlled, in-bounds terrain, but ski patrol recommends carrying avalanche gear and travelling with a partner.<\/span><\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Evening libations? Hit the Snorting Elk Bar. If you\u2019re into the #vanlife thing, score a spot in B Lot, where a tight knit community of skiers may just clue you in to more stashes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not to be forgotten: <\/b>Summit at Snoqualmie\/Alpental and Mount Baker<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something a little closer to home, the Summit at Snoqualmie and Alpental are only about 50 miles from Seattle. You get a nice variety of\u00a0terrain plus night skiing. A slightly smaller resort, the freezing level definitely comes into play here. But when it\u2019s on, Alpental boasts world-class steep skiing and backcountry access that rivals the bigger resorts around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up toward the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a small locally owned resort with a reputation for uber-deep snow. Baker holds the world record for most snowfall in a single season\u20141,140 inches in 1998-9. It\u2019s not uncommon to spend a good chunk of the day in the white room. If the sun pops out while you\u2019re there (it does happen, I promise), you\u2019ll get a glimpse of \u201cThe Arm,\u201d a steep ridgeline of backcountry terrain that snakes up Mount Shuksan. Easily accessible from the top of Chair 8, the Shuksan Arm seduces plenty of skiers from the comforts of the resort to the exposed spines and high-consequence terrain that most folks have only seen in the movies. <\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0many ski destinations, locals hide stashes like their lives depend on it. But in the Northwest, how-to and where-to information is pretty easy to come by. The website <\/span>Turns All Year<\/span><\/a> gives you year-round insight, with trip reports organized by each month. If you\u2019re heading out and need some tips, it\u2019s a great resource for trip planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring<\/b><\/h3>\n

For adventure skiers in the Northwest, springtime means one thing\u2014volcano season. Washington has five major active volcanoes that flaunt incredible ski descents. There are routes for all experience levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mount Adams<\/b><\/p>\n

Skiing the Southwest Chutes off Mount Adams may be the most fun you can have on skis when the resorts close. This route is\u00a0not glaciated, making it a popular ascent for less experienced volcano skiers\u2014although the 7,000-foot slog up is no cake walk. The Southwest Chutes drop off the false summit of Adams and deliver 4,000 feet of sustained 35-40-degree corn skiing. Skiers typically do the trip in one or two days. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mount Baker<\/b><\/p>\n

A stellar ski with\u00a0some glacier navigation thrown in, Mount Baker is a great stepping stone if you\u2019ve got your sights set on Rainier. The Coleman-Deming is the most common ski route in the spring, winding up through gentle glaciers and then straight up the steep Roman Wall. If conditions line up, enjoy 8,000 feet of skiing all the way back down to the car.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you think you\u2019ve got the fitness but not the glacier skills, <\/span>Pro Guiding Service<\/span><\/a> in North Bend offers the \u201cMount Baker Bullet Train.\u201d The goal: climb and ski the route in a single day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mount Rainier<\/b><\/p>\n

The most prized objective in the state and the most complex glaciated terrain in the Lower 48. Mount Rainier draws mountaineers from around the world. While many visit Rainier to hone their mountaineering skills for bigger objectives, the ski itself is something to aspire to. <\/span><\/p>\n

The classic Emmons route offers a slightly more remote feel than the crowded Disappointment Cleaver, approaching the crater rim from the Northeast instead of the Southeast.\u00a0The route climbs about 10,000 feet, and skiers usually spend the night at Camp Schurmann (9,640 feet).<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer<\/b><\/h3>\n

Thanks to the Northwest’s maritime snowpack, snow\u00a0sticks around for a while. If you\u2019re still jonesing for turns come August, the Muir Snowfield in Mount Rainier National Park is your best bet. It may be sloppy and rifled with sun cups, but hey, you\u2019re skiing in summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are always scraps of snow to sniff out during the hotter months, but Washington\u2019s mountain biking and hiking trails come into prime form in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your adrenaline fix at Stevens Pass Bike Park. Progressive jump lines and fast, flowy descents make you whoop and holler like you\u2019re ripping turns through chest-deep pow.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can get a permit, a backpacking trip through the Enchantments should be on every hiker\u2019s bucket list. Near Leavenworth, the Enchantments are a true gem of the Northwest. Smooth granite contrasts jagged ridges that lurch toward the sky. The turquoise-blue lakes are some of the most striking in the state. If you can\u2019t snag a permit through the lottery system, a thru hike is a viable option, since you only need a permit to camp overnight. Point to point, it\u2019s about 20 miles of pretty rough hiking with 4,500 feet of climbing and 6,500 feet of descending. The jaw-dropping scenery will quickly soothe your tired legs.<\/span><\/p>\n
