There are still plenty of ways to make the most of what’s turning out to be a snowy spring season—March powder dumps and soft spring turns, terrain park sessions, pond skims and the laid-back community vibe that defines our regional ski hills. Even better, spring is when next year’s season passes go on sale at the lowest prices of the year. Locking in a pass now means skipping ticket lines, committing to more time outside and setting yourself up for a full winter of skiing and riding when the snow returns in force.
We’re fortunate to live near a cluster of resorts where season passes remain affordable. Use your pass just a handful of days and it pays for itself. Here’s a look at the spring pass sales and what each of the four Ski the NW Rockies Association resorts around Spokane has to offer.
