Best Ski Resort for Eating Out in Washington: 49 Degrees North - Eating Out Rating
The dining options at 49 Degrees North get mixed reviews from our Snomad community, but there's generally positive feedback. Trinity, a beginner snowboarder, was thoroughly impressed with the eating options. The mountain offers good variety, though it doesn't focus on flashy culinary offerings. As one user notes, this is a "family run" operation "with nothing fancy" - prioritising the skiing experience over elaborate dining. While some advanced skiers like Sam rated the food options highly, others mention it's fairly basic fare. It's all part of what DARREN describes as the "small mountain off the beaten path" charm.
#2 Crystal Mountain (WA) - Eating Out Rating
Crystal Mountain offers a solid dining experience according to our Snomad community. At the summit, you'll find food with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier - Jordan, a beginner skier, "loved riding the gondola and eating at the top of the mountain!" While most users praise the quality, some note it comes at typical mountain prices. The base lodge was recently renovated, improving the dining facilities. As Brody, an expert skier who's been skiing there for 18 years mentions, "there are several food options... nothing cheap, but there are good value options to shoot for." Be prepared to pay resort prices for a decent meal.
#3 The Summit at Snoqualmie - Eating Out Rating
Dining options at The Summit at Snoqualmie receive mixed feedback from our users. Some appreciate the variety available across multiple lodges with Julian, an advanced skier, highlighting "great food/drinks at reasonable prices." The quality seems solid, with Victoria mentioning "really good" food with "great variety to choose from." For those taking a break from skiing, Trina points out "the outside eating area with fire pit was very nice." While not gourmet, the food service is functional and family-friendly. If you're planning a visit, budget accordingly – one user reported paying around $13 USD for a beer.
