Buying a seasons pass at one...not sure which. Right now i am leaning towards getting a pass at stevens. Discuss....

STEVENS.

pros:

avg 450" of snow of a year

3.5 hr drive (< drive to schweitzer)

lots a steep terrain

cons:

half of the snow they get is wet

SCHWEITZER

pros:

avg 300" of snow of a year

snow is pretty dry

cons:

4.5 hour drive (> drive to stevens

lots a steep terrain

foggy a lot of the time

 
You don't want to go to Stevens. All of the snow we get there is heavy and wet. It rains all the time. Your pass will be a waste.
 
obviously Schweitzer, way better snow, nicer people, and that view of the lake is fantastic
 
That's only from the west side, from the east side you have to know how to play accordion and wear lederhosens.
 
It's true. I moved to Leavenworth and was accosted by an armed mob for not wearing leather or carrying my squeezebox during the daytime.
 
iv never skied stevens, but iv skied schweitzer most of my life and can tell u its worth it!

the park is pretty dam good towards the middle of the season.

great trees and snow!

if u have any quistions just pm me !

Watch out gapers at stevens pass. ...east coast skier comin' in to show you how its really done.
