Good advanced level resort. Connected to another more family friendly resort but you do have to drive between them. Small resort but close to Seattle and a good value.

Alpental is loved by the locals for extreme terrain. However, there is not much of it and the lifts there are small. There is even less on piste terrain, do not go here for pistes. Locals today will still tell you how awesome it is but that its only worth going on a weekday due to crowds.

Alpental is like a gnarly 36 hole backcountry range of mountains all packed into mini golf course. Steeps, drops, chutes, trees all beckon the expert. When it snows (and it does so often), the pow can last if you know where to look for it.
Pro tip, be one of the first when the Nash opens after a dump and when the traverse lines drop.
