La valoración general por estrellas de una estación de esquí no se calcula como un simple promedio, sino que tiene en cuenta varios factores, incluida la antigüedad de las opiniones.
Llevamos varios años con pases de temporada. El aparcamiento ha mejorado muchísimo desde que se implementaron los pases de aparcamiento (incluidos en los pases de temporada). Desde entonces, no hemos tenido ningún problema para aparcar. Las colas son razonables, al menos para las pistas de nivel intermedio y avanzado que solemos esquiar. Normalmente, la espera es de 5 a 10 minutos, aunque algunos fines de semana (con nieve recién caída) puede ser un poco más larga. El clima nunca es demasiado frío, dada la baja altitud, y hay suficiente nieve para disfrutar del esquí. La adquisición de Mountaineers es fantástica, el terreno es excelente y Alpental también tiene pistas increíbles. Los remontes de Summit East son lentos, pero si no te importa la lentitud, el terreno es divertido y variado. En general, creemos que los árboles y el terreno son estupendos, lo que nos permite mejorar como esquiadores y disfrutar del invierno. En los últimos dos años, las colas han sido mínimas (y casi siempre vamos los fines de semana). Siempre encontramos mesa en un refugio para comer o picar algo. El refugio de Silver Fir es especialmente agradable. Cabe destacar que el centro de esquí de fondo (incluido en el pase de temporada) es fantástico, con una extensa red de senderos (muy tranquila y serena).

Al igual que otros comentarios, me gustaría que este complejo estuviera mejor gestionado; es una gran oportunidad por su cercanía a Seattle. Llevo más de 40 años esquiando en Washington y les recomiendo a todos que no pierdan el tiempo aquí y que se tomen el tiempo de viajar a Crystal, Stevens o incluso Baker. En estos complejos, la experiencia es mejor, la relación calidad-precio es mucho mejor y, sin duda, la nieve es de mejor calidad. ¡Saludos!

Aunque este año no hubo mucha nieve en Seattle, estuve en Snoqualmie siempre que pude. Excelentes remontes y pistas, personal de remontes muy amable y buenos alojamientos.
So Disappointed
Lo mismo que dicen todos. Son como la comida rápida de las estaciones de esquí y pretenden que estés agradecido de que alguien se presente a trabajar. Llevo viniendo desde 2018 con mi familia, ya que tenemos pase de temporada. Poco a poco me he dado cuenta de por qué todo el mundo está dispuesto a conducir dos horas y media hasta Crystal o cualquier otro sitio que no sea Summit.

Es difícil dar una opinión objetiva. He esquiado durante 35 años por todo el continente, y ahora Summit es mi montaña de referencia, ya que está a solo 30 minutos de mi casa. La verdad es que ya no esquío de viernes a domingo. La cantidad (y la calidad) de gente que abarrota cada rincón de esta montaña es bastante preocupante para la salud de la humanidad. Como esquiador experto, no hay nada que esquiar aquí, ni siquiera en Alpental. Sé que algunos dirán: "¡Ah! ¿Y qué tal International? Tiene la mejor pista negra doble dentro de la estación cuando hay nieve polvo"... sí, amigo, tú y 56.000 habitantes de Seattle piensan igual. Cualquier pista con nieve polvo está pisada a las 10 de la mañana, si es que la abren, debido al peligro extremo de avalanchas, que es frecuente. Para cualquiera que no sea principiante, las pistas de Central y West son CORTAS. En serio, cuando subas al telesilla, fíjate en la última persona de la fila abajo; cuando vuelvas a la fila después de correr, verás la misma chaqueta antes de que suba. East debe seguir siendo un secreto bien guardado, así que sin comentarios.

Used to love this mountain due to the proximity and ability to afford tickets. Also used to have a great ez ski to ride package. Now it just seems way overpriced for true beginners (wanted to take our son here) l, the amount of terrain, quality of the runs (length, terrain, fun), and vibe.
I've wanted to get back into it for a while with my partner and our son, but the value just really doesn't seem like it is there. Just seems way wrong. Too bad Stevens and other passes aren't closer. Given all the cons it's seems like we just need to let dreams of old Snoqualmie go and try the many other mountains.

This is a typically understaffed place. However the lifts that they close do to that are usually not vital to the mountain anyway. If you are a beginner go to summit west. And if you are an expert go to east or alpinetal. And intermediate at central. For a local mountain, that is only 45 minutes from the heart of Seattle this is a neat place with ok snow and good terrain if you know we’re to go. The night skiing is one of the most underrated things as well, it has almost everything open at night, and it’s only an 45 minutes from Seattle.

We bought twilight passes that start at 2 pm, but most of the areas on almost all days are open till 3-4 pm. Alpental is closing at 2 or 4 pm, even during school break. Are we supposed to ski 1-2 hours only? What are we paying for? On Dec.26 in the Central, only one trail/slope was open even though other slopes were perfectly groomed, making long lines at the lift, collecting big crowds on the slope thus making it unsafe. The slopes on Silver fir are habitually ungroomed, except under-lift area, and it is done way not enough at the Central. Too often not all lifts are open making very long lines of nervous skiers. The only well groomed area is the West but it is closing impossibly early, that is why this beautiful area is not popular. A great job was done on the Central parking lot repair but in the wintertime it still needs cleaning of ice, big bumps and holes that make its use unsafe for both, vehicles and people. The only good thing is smooth ride of the lifts and very friendly stuff. Each year the cost of passes and tickets is increasing but the amount of service is steadily declining. The strategy of the resort became cutting everything to collect larger crowds. The greed is your logo, not the people's enjoyment! We are not returning next year and will never recommend it to anyone.

A pretty good mountain, my home mountain, I am not going to be nice in this review because of this. They have a master plan set in place with snowmaking, much more high speed lifts, and other helpful assets, My ideas, if you want a nice easy run, or a blue, go to west, if you want something that will make everyone happy, go to central, if you want a different experience, meaning the mountain is a different type of setup, and has no beginner lift, go to east “Hyak” and if you want long steep hard runs, alpental is your go to place, be sure to go off the edelweiss chair if you want truly steep stuff! Everywhere has night skiing except summit east and edelweiss at alpental! Happy skiing, or snowboarding!
I primarily ski at Crystal, but I've been taking my daughters, who are new to skiing this year, to Summit occasionally. Of the times I have been there, on all but one occasion the only lift open serving green terrain has been Holiday. Just ONE lift serving green terrain. And that one lift is mobbed by people just like me - parents bringing their kids to learn to ski, as well as other beginners hoping to learn to ski. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Holiday is not even that great of a lift. It's not dual speed, and, for a beginner, it's difficult to get off of. Therefore, people are constantly falling and the lift has to stop. Attentive lifties would help with this, but that is not the norm. In addition, they have ticket scanners at the bottom, but usually no one is sorting skiers into groups of four, meaning that as often as not, the lift chairs are not full. As a result of all this, the waits are absurdly long - 20 minutes to get to the top easily. I end up freezing cold from doing so much standing and so little skiing.
There are 8 or 9 green runs at Summit, but typically Holiday will be the only one open except on high season weekends. My last visit was a Friday night and the place was packed, but still only one green run open.
We'll probably continue to go because sometimes we just don't have the 90 minutes to drive to Crystal or Stevens. But with the amount of money they must be raking in - lift tickets sometimes close to $200 for adults!! - I don't see why they can't staff most of the lifts like other local resorts do, and manage the ones that are actually open properly.
