Echo Valley   Lovely little ski area. I went skiing there once many years ago. It was great. Says Jim. The 4 lifts here are satisfactorily maintained and controlled by caring people. The unbelievable 21 feet of yearly snowfall is one of the reasons this is such a nice ski mountain. This ski resort has a much lower than average share of hard runs and a much higher than average part of intermediate or beginner runs. This is a cozier than average ski hill in possession     of an average elevation difference if compared to other west coast ski mountains. No other ski mountain for 23 miles has a higher elevation difference. Echo Valley is a small-size site, and people who work there are very friendly. Lots of skiers from Wenatchee like to ski here. This is a splendid site for the whole family with a heap of intermediate or beginner slopes. Nothing outdoes the Washington highlands in winter; they are a great location for snowboarding and skiing. This ski mountain has a small range of runs and few ski lifts. Echo Valley gets blanketed by an average amount of snow every winter. Hotel rooms are at your disposal in the neighborhood of the bottom of the hill, but if   you don’t have reservations, you may end up sleeping in your car. The 900 foot altitude difference is unsurprisingly not that much to boast about, but Echo Valley has so many other nice qualities. The 8 ski runs at this ski hill are perfect. The ski terrain being 70 acres, it's relaxed enough to get to know all your fellow snow folks. Winter in the mountains of Washington and excellent slopes make the journey here worthwhile. A little bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you pleased you came. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, there are a lot of good sites for that close at hand.          Hotels Near Echo Valley ski area, Washington Lakeside Lodge And Suites, Chelan 4.6 miles away * Distances listed are direct linear distances, actual travel distance may be different.   Pictures of Echo Valley ski area Bigger Picture Stats Detailed Stats Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Echo Valley ski area.   Ski Areas Near Echo Valley ski area: Loup Loup Ski Bowl, Washington , 23 miles away    1240 foot drop, 3 lifts, 10 runs    20% Expert & Adv.    60% Intermediate    20% Beginner Mission Ridge, Washington , 38 miles away    2250 foot drop, 6 lifts, 36 runs    30% Expert & Adv.    60% Intermediate    10% Beginner Apex Mountain, British Columbia , 68 miles away    2000 foot drop, 5 lifts, 68 runs    0% Expert & Adv.    0% Intermediate    0% Beginner Mount Baldy, British Columbia , 80 miles away    1500 foot drop, 2 lifts, 20 runs    0% Expert & Adv.    0% Intermediate    0% Beginner Stevens Pass, Washington , 86 miles away    1800 foot drop, 10 lifts, 37 runs    35% Expert & Adv.    54% Intermediate    11% Beginner Summit at Snoqualmie, Washington , 97 miles away    2280 foot drop, 26 lifts, 96 runs    41% Expert & Adv.    45% Intermediate    14% Beginner Alpental, Washington , 97 miles away    2280 foot drop, 5 lifts, 19 runs    75% Expert & Adv.    22% Intermediate    3% Beginner   Whitewater Near Echo Valley ski area: Chelan River, Chelan County , 6 miles away, Class IV-V - 4 miles long (Lake Chelan to Columbia River) Methow River, Okanogan County , 10 miles away, Class III - 16.2 miles long (McFarland Creek access to Pateros) Methow River, Okanogan County , 15 miles away, Class II - 9.5 miles long (Carlton to McFarland Creek access)   Trails Near Echo Valley ski area: Devils Backbone Trailbike Loop Trail, Chelan , 20 miles away,  14.6 hiking miles, 5475 feet elevation difference   Golf Courses Near Echo Valley ski area: Lake Chelan Municipal Golf Course, Chelan , 4 miles away Alta Lake Golf Resort, Pateros , 9 miles away Cj's Desert Oasis, Orondo , 13 miles away
