Mission Ridge would be your mountain, damn close to Wenatchee.

Sadly I've only skied Mission on opening day when its been man-made snow on a single run.  It looks like it would be a great mountain in full winter.

coming from the COT myself I can tell you that both Mission Ridge and Stevens blow Bogus Basin out of the water.  But that's not hard to do anyways.

Mission has solid steeps, some nice side-country and killer snow. Only problem is, since its so dry, they can be short on snow as well. But then, instead of a 30 min drive to Mission, you do the ~2hr drive to stevens, and get everything you need. Best of both worlds if you ask me. If they actually had jobs in Wenatchee, I'd probably live there....

Mission is hella fun on pow days or sunny groomers i guess. But I go to stevens 9 out of 10 times over mission. Mission barely has a park. Stevens has the best park in washington for sure. Mission is 20 minutes away and I make it to stevens in an hour or hour and 15 if traffic sucks.

well my sense of direction and being able to kow where places are in relation to other places pretty much doesnt exsist, but if its within an hour, stevens is in my opinion, better than mission, but i haven;'t skied mission so i dont know

Mission is practically in Wenatchee. I heard though that the place likes to eat skis for dinner in early and late season though due to rocks and crap so be careful.

Mission is the shit for sure. My uncle lives at the hill so its fun to go up there to chill. Amazing on a pow day. The groomers are surprisingly fun as well.
