Hit the Slopes
Mount Spokane Ski & Snowboard ParkJust 28 miles from downtown, Mount Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park is one of the region’s most convenient winter destinations. With more than 1,700 acres of terrain and a vertical drop of over 2,000 feet, it offers everything from beginner runs to expert challenges. Night skiing under the stars, designated snowshoe trails, and sweeping views of pine-covered slopes make it a true winter playground. Afterward, warm up in the lodge with hearty food and a cozy atmosphere—the perfect end to a day on the mountain.
Glide and Slide
Riverfront Park Ice RibbonThe Ice Ribbon brings a touch of winter magic to downtown Spokane. This 650-foot winding skating path circles through Riverfront Park with views of the Spokane River and Clocktower. Twinkling lights overhead set the scene, while themed skate nights keep things lively. With rentals on-site and the Sky Ribbon Café nearby for hot cocoa or cider, the Ice Ribbon is a holiday-season must for families, couples, and friends.
