The Forest Service Completed nearly five miles of new trails at Echo Ridge for this season. These are narrower, "classic" style trails that open up some remote terrain in the northeast corner of Echo Ridge. There are "Grand Drop", "Far East", Big Critter" and "Lickety Split" A short connector between Morning Glory and Ridgeview was also opened.

Located on the East Slope of the Cascade Mountains of Washington, our valley is graced with relatively mild but typically snowy winters. A major portion of the 10 inches of precipitation we receive each year comes in the form of snow between Thanksgiving and the end of February. In the higher elevations above the valley, a generous, light, dry snowpack is as reliable from year to year as the long, sunny days of summer. Echo Ridge, Bear Mountain and Chelan Butte, lying between 3000 and 4000 feet just minutes from the towns of Chelan and Manson, lie blanketed in snow throughout the winter months. In the orchards and vinyards of the lowlands around Lake Chelan, winter snows are less predictable but many years, like this one, offer ample opportunities for skiing in our parks, golf courses, vinyards and open spaces into February.
