Make Washington’s majestic Cascades your personal winter playground.
And set up base camp at nearby, historic Monroe — your new home away from home!
Just picture it: Shredding the slopes. Going off-piste sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing. Making frosty, festive memories with family and friends. There’s plenty of room — and deep snow — at Vail-owned Stevens Pass Resort to kick-start your dream into reality. Thirty-seven runs on 1,125 acres, blanketed by an average 460 inches of white gold every year.
So, grab your gear, hop a direct flight to Seattle, and head off on your next adventure. It’s easy. Multiple routes from Sea-Tac Airport will get you onto scenic U.S. 2 corridor — and the Promised Land: Stevens Pass.
Use your Epic Pass at Vail-owned Stevens Pass Resort, featuring night skiing till 10 pm!

When it’s time to chill, make nearby Monroe your home-away-from-home base camp. Stay awhile, look around, and kick back — Northwest style.
Nestled in the foothills of those gorgeous Cascade Mountains on the banks of the Skykomish River, charming, historic Monroe is perfectly located: midway – only 45 minutes either way – between Sea-Tac and the slopes. Monroe offers up a wide array of things to see and do: plenty of lodging, craveable restaurants, artisanal brewpubs, even a hip whiskey bar, souvenir-worthy boutique shopping, a spa, and winter outfitters for every skiing & snowboarding need.
Those romantic Monet sunsets aren’t bad either.
Cosmopolitan flair with a whiskey, pecan-sticky-bun kinda vibe. That’s what you get — and more — when you Explore Monroe as your handy, cozy base camp at the edge of snow country.
