One of our NW stops with Glen and Kimberly Plake was Mt. Spokane.  This quaint mountain resort with 1,425 skiable acreas and 2,000 vertical dates back to the early 1930s when the Spokane Ski Club helped to build the world’s first double chairlift on the southeastern slope of the mountain.  The tree skiing here is incredible and Glen liked the bump run, Geronimo, so much that he skipped lunch to ski it 3 or 4 times.

This is one of only 2 resorts in WA (? that we know of) that has wi-fi at the base lodge - nice (the other is Crystal). 2 of their chairs are a mile long so we got a chance to chat it up with our group in between runs.


If you’re in or traveling through the Spokane area, check out this great place as it’s only 28mi outside of Spokane and again, no crowds. Here’re some more pictures from that day. Video’s coming soon so please check back for that.
