    Ida Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop at close by Goat Lake, and why not take a little trip to Glacier Creek while you're here. Alpental has good slopes and a friendly staff, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Lost Creek Ridge Trail. And that's not all you can do here in the Northern Cascade Range. Whitewater paddling is good on Sauk River - North Fork, and  
   hiking along the Meadow Mountain Trail is tremendous fun.
Ida Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range. At Ida Lake during the warm months highs are in the 70's. Throughout the dark hours of summer temperatures plunge down into the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's, and overnight lows at Ida Lake all through the wintertime generally sink into the 20's. You absolutely should adore Ida Lake. A pleasant view of striking Foggy Peak is available
 
               from Ida Lake, and do take a hike on the Camp Creek Ridge Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. A wonderful place to camp here at Ida Lake is Monte Cristo Campground. Lakes? Sure, Silver Lake is close at hand. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. If you're here, you might as well explore Ida Pass, and great skiing awaits you at Stephens Pass. A short trip to Sunday Falls is always worthwhile.
This lake is so wonderful. Get drenched paddling on Skykomish River - North Fork, and why not camp at Sauk River Campground while you're here at Ida Lake. Ida Lake gets a great deal of water; of all the months in a year November is the one with the most rain while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.

Stevens has a wide diversity of trails and runs that suits every riding style. From beginner to expert and for those terrain park junkies Stevens has you covered. I think what's special about Stevens is you can find your own little part of the mountain which is all yours, I have 4-5 little runs that cross between trails and off-piste that are all mine. Also the snow is crazy good, powder almost all the time. My favorite runs are Orion, some tree skiing near wall street, and right above the power lines. Stevens also has some pretty sweet out of bounds stuff to so check it out...

From the steep and deep to the high-speed buffed-out cruisers, from our gentle learning areas to our benchmark parks and pipe, diversity is a way of life around here. With four unique base areas and less than an hour from Seattle on Interstate 90, no other resort in the country offers so much variety with this much convenience. Consider it a buffet for the outdoor enthusiast!
For the third year in a row, we stayed open longer than any other resort in the state, this season through Memorial Day. What can we say? We love spring skiing as much as you do!
So if you're looking for a true escape this winter, look no further than The Summit.
Just around the corner...
...A MILLION MILES AWAY!...
