INTRODUCTION
Washington State is renowned for its many opportunities for
fast-paced recreation. The mountain ranges provide year-round
entertainment, with endless opportunities for hiking, biking,
camping and climbing in the spring, summer and fall months. In
winter, though, something even more magical happens as the
mountains become covered in snow. The name of the game
turns to skiing and snowboarding. Enthusiasts of all skill levels
