Summit West Uphill Map

At Snoqualmie Pass you can skin inbounds at any time with an uphill pass, even during resort open hours on certain routes. This is the designated up-track at Summit West. West is the shortest of the four ski areas at The Summit, so this uphill is good for a shorter workout or for linking lots of laps.

Description

It begins near the W3 lot, which is also the designated parking area for uphill access at Summit West. The route essentially follows the edge of the green run Julies, then crosses beneath 360 Bowl to trace Pacific Crest chair to the top. This route may or may not be marked during operating hours. No matter what time you arrive, be sure to watch for signs or lights that indicate closures or mountain operations to avoid. See The Summit’s uphill travel policy for more information and how to get a pass.
