Once upon a time, nestled within the majestic mountains of Washington state, there existed a wondrous place known as the Snoqualmie Pass. It was a magical realm where nature's beauty captivated the souls of all who dared to venture through its enchanting landscape. But hidden amongst the towering pines and shimmering lakes lay an extraordinary secret - the Magical Rug of Snoqualmie Pass. The Magical Rug was no ordinary rug; it possessed extraordinary powers that could transform the lives of those who possessed it. Legend has it that the rug was gifted by the mystical forces of nature to the ancient Native American tribes who resided in the area. Its purpose was to bring harmony and balance to the world.
Challenge:
The mountain sits in an extremely wet climate at a relatively low elevation, making for some of the wettest, heaviest conditions we ve tried anywhere. Bob Mickelson and some friends bought options on the mining claims around 1960 with plans to develop a ski area on Denny Mountain and a community in the lower area.
Its purpose was to bring harmony and balance to the world. The rug was said to have been woven with threads spun from the shimmering moonlight, granting it the ability to transport anyone who stood upon it to distant lands and realms. Its colors were vibrant and ever-changing, reflecting the moods and emotions of those who set foot upon its magical surface.

The Summit at Snoqualmie, is a winter resort in the northwest United States, located on Snoqualmie Pass, Washington. It provides alpine skiing and snowboarding, Nordic skiing, and winter tubing. Owned and managed by Boyne Resorts, it is 52 miles (80 km) east of downtown Seattle on Interstate 90.
The Summit consists of four base areas that used to be individually owned and operated resorts. Alpental, Summit West (formerly Snoqualmie Summit), Summit Central (formerly Ski Acres), and Summit East (formerly Hyak and PacWest), border Lake Keechelus on the East and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on the West/North. The Summit at Snoqualmie is the closest ski area to Seattle, about an hour away.
Ski Lifts, Inc., the operator of what became Summit West, acquired the other three resorts. Booth Creek Ski acquired the properties in 1997. Booth Creek sold The Summit to CNL Lifestyle in 2006, but continued to operate the resort under a lease. Booth Creek sold The Summit lease to Boyne Resorts in 2007. CNL Lifestyle sold Booth Creek in a batch of resorts to Och-Ziff Capital Management in 2016. Boyne purchased the ski resort in March 2018.
The vertical drop ranges from 2,280 ft (690 m) at Alpental, to 765 ft (233 m) at Summit West. Combined, the four base areas have 21 chairlifts and 6 surface lifts. The resort is open seven days and six nights per week.
The rug held the power to heal, both physical and emotional, mending broken hearts and soothing weary souls. It could grant wisdom and knowledge, allowing its holder to gain insights and understanding beyond their wildest dreams. Some believed that it could even grant immortality to those pure of heart. Throughout the ages, many sought to possess the Magical Rug of Snoqualmie Pass. Kings and queens, warriors and wizards, all yearned for its incredible powers. But the rug was a wild and untamed creature; it chose its owners, appearing only to those deemed worthy by the forces of fate. Generations passed, and the legend of the Magical Rug of Snoqualmie Pass became a mere whisper amongst the people. It was said to have vanished, hidden away in a secret location known only to the spirits themselves. But deep within the hearts of the locals, the belief in its existence never waned. Today, the Magical Rug of Snoqualmie Pass remains a tale passed down from one generation to another. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the greatest magic lies in the beauty and wonder of the natural world. And perhaps, just perhaps, the rug still awaits its destined owner, silently weaving its enchantment into the fabric of the universe..
