We usually try to go skiing somewhere when the kids are on their mid-winter break, and a past favorite has been Mission Ridge just south of Wenatchee. It normally has dry snow, no to very small lift lines, and excellent grooming. For some reason, we have not visited in a while, and decided to go back this year. Delaney took a friend this time, and I think everyone had a great time. We ski'd for two days, and covered most of the mountain, though Chair 4 was never open due to it being mid-week. We did later on at the end of the 2nd day get over to ski one of its runs though.
