You just can't envision the amount of outdoors cool stuff the Northern Cascade Range has to offer. A delightful nearby hotel is Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit, and you can never get enough of the brilliant skiing at Stephens Pass. Just can't get enough of Jakes Lake. Jakes Lake is not the only site close by, Bertha Lake is a close by lake.

While you're here at Jakes Lake you can take a hike along the Escondido Trail, and there's whitewater on Martin Creek for all you adrenaline kick people. Jakes Lake is a relatively wet place usually with a lot of rainfall; most of the rain falls all through December while July is usually the driest month. Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is great! Here at Jakes Lake you can see Alpine Baldy, and a fine place like Mount Fernow Potholes here at Jakes Lake is too brilliant to miss.

Stephens Pass

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...

Bonnie Lake
Bonney lake Is not trained. It is drained in the winter, who ever runs the dam doesn't man it in winter so they let it drain. There was talk that they would not fill it any more....Just heard that Bonnie Lake is drained in the winter and then refilled in the Spring. Can you tell me why?...

This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely 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!...
