New Handle Tow Terrain Park Lift
This winter, the introduction of a new handle tow lift with a 692-ft. rope length and a top speed of almost 400 feet per minute will make the Mt. Spokane Terrain Park genuinely exceptional, says Mt. Spokane’s Jodi Kayler.
“The new tow lift will allow riders to conveniently lap the park while also alleviating congestion at other lifts [and] bolstering our capacity to host outstanding events and competitions,” says Kayler. The terrain park at Mt. Spokane has always held a special significance, she adds. “It’s not just about the boxes and jumps; it’s a community hub that welcomes individuals of all ages to enjoy skiing and snowboarding. Each season its popularity continues to soar, prompting our investment in enhanced features, expert grooming, and skilled terrain park management and staffing.” For years, enthusiasts have trekked through the park, making it clear that a dedicated lift solely for the terrain park was a huge priority.
Terrain Improvements
Leading up to this likely big season, Mt. Spokane maintenance staff have been hard at work enhancing glades, mowing, and performing run maintenance that will allow the ski area to continue to improve grooming and create smooth ski surfaces.
Prime Timers Deals and Community
“One of our most vibrant social groups is the Mt. Spokane Prime Timers, for those aged 55 and older,” says Kayler. Prime Timers membership is currently available for $45, which includes a range of benefits. “The program continues to expand, now boasting nearly 250 members,” she says. The Prime Timers gather every Wednesday to enjoy parties, discounts, and special events throughout the season. “It’s a unique community that shares a passion for skiing and cherishes each other’s company.”
Mt. Spokane Ski Race Team Introduces New Coaching Program
The Mt. Spokane Ski Race Team, an independent organization from the ski area, is introducing a brand-new coaching team this season, bringing in exceptional talent from all over the U.S. If you have a young skier who thrives on speed, now is the ideal moment to register them for the upcoming season. Mt. Spokane has some big race events lined up for this year. Learn more and get your kids in on the action at Mssrt.org.
Learn to Ski or Snowboard at Mt. Spokane
Mt. Spokane’s Ski & Ride School continues to expand its offerings this season. “Alongside our highly regarded multiweek programs, including group lessons and private sessions, we’ve introduced even more opportunities to learn,” says Kayler. “This year, we’re excited to launch afternoon group lessons specifically for our youngest skiers, ages 4-6. Additionally, we’re introducing a Twilight Squad on Friday nights, where riders aged 8-15 can come together for a minimal fee to ride with friends under the guidance of our most engaging and experienced instructors.”
Additionally, Kayler notes the Thursday Homeschool program is the largest in the region, providing discounted opportunities to hundreds of homeschool families. On Wednesdays, public schools from around the area head to the mountain too, giving entire classrooms a chance to learn skiing. The mountain provides this at a low cost to schools and Mt. Spokane actively raises funds to support the initiative. “Our goal is to inspire students with a passion for the mountains and outdoor recreation,” Kayler explains. Teachers can contact the mountain for more information.
