A Night Skiing Experience Like No Other

Mission Ridge operates the second longest vertical drop Night Skiing operation in North America…and maybe even in the world! Vertical drop is the elevation difference from the highest point in the night ski terrain, to the lowest. At 2,250 feet, Mission Ridge provides a unique night experience capped off by the incredible sunset view behind Mt. Rainier.

Night Terrain & Trail Map

When conditions permit, we can light up terrain off of Chair 1, Chair 2, Chair 4, the Ottobahn Carpet, the 100Laps Rope Tow, & the Pika Peak Rope Tow. All lifts close at 9pm on night skiing nights with the exception of Chair 2, which closes at 8:30pm.

Keep in mind that there is no beginner terrain off of Chair 2, especially at night. Chair 2 night access is for advanced skiers and riders who are already familiar with Chair 2 terrain or similar. The best areas to get the hang of things are accessed by the Ottobahn Carpet, Pika Peak Rope Tow, or Chair 1.
