The Summit at Snoqualmie

The Summit at Snoqualmie happens to be my home ski area.  It's about an hour door to slopes from my home in Bellevue, Washington.

2014-15 season was a major disappointment for all of North America, but especially at smaller ski areas like The Summit.

I look for the upcoming 2015-16 season to be a major rebound and I look forward to hitting the slopes of Alpental and Ski Central many, many times this season.


For information on employment at The Summit at Snoqualmie, you will want to visit:  http://www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/employment

The benefits and perks of working at The Summit include: free season pass, discounted food, ski exchange, retail discount, discounted rentals and referral rewards.
