Support Mt. Spokane

Having skied Mount Spokane for over 40 years and being a West Coast SkiWatch Reporter for Cable Radio News (CNN) for 11 years, I have been to countless ski resorts and none impresses me more than Mount Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park for the commitment to skiers and families that ski together.

There is no other ski mountain that puts the effort to keep prices stable affording everyone the ability to enjoy this winter sport without breaking the bank just to buy a single lift ticket. Brad McQuarry and the staff continue to amaze me each year with improvements and amenities to Mount Spokane all on a shoestring budget while other area mountains can build and expand uncontested, driving the price of lift tickets and concessions through the roof.

Please help support Brad and the non-profit Mount Spokane 2000 group to add the new Red Chair Lift to the area already approved by the Washington State Parks Department and keep local skiing affordable to everyone.
