Charlotte Osgood

Mission Ridge has a really friendly small town vibe, with amazing expansive terrain you'd find at a big resort. You never have to wait more than a few seconds to get on the lift, except when another lift shuts down (which isn't very often, but isn't too rare either). It isn't a beginner's mountain; there are few green runs and the blue runs are relatively steep. If you're an intermediate skier looking to challenge yourself, this is the place for you. Most of the acreage is off piste, which makes powder days (that are almost always dry and light) absolutely epic. There isn't much as far as apres ski- the restaurant stops serving food 30 minutes after the chairs shut. However, all of the staff are extremely friendly. All in all, I believe Mission Ridge has the best skiing in the Northwest.
