Sip and Paint
Brandi is a Snoqualmie Pass local who is a talented artist and in addition to running the Pass Life Workspace, also hosts her own events. Often you’ll find her at Dru Bru hosting a “sip and paint”, and she is happy to offer this as a group activity you can do in the home! You bring the sip, she will bring the paint, and she is a blast to go through a guided painting activity where you’ll all have a great time and get a nice keepsake in the end.

In Home Massage
The famous Becky from Moldavite Massage is based on Snoqualmie Pass and is available to do in-home massage or massage days. She is very popular so beware it can be hard to make the schedule work, but if you can make it happen you will be a happy camper. We have personally tried it out and she is amazing. 10 out of 10. She can (and prefers) to have multiple back to back, she can do up to 4 at 90 minutes each! You won't regret it.
a special custom workout
In Home Yoga
Brigitt Rains West with Uphill Dogs Yoga will come to you for in-home yoga, meditation (or both). Tailor an experience that meets the needs of you and your guests in a range of styles: Hatha, Gentle, Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin, Yoga for Kids, etc. We can be chill or high energy, playful (beer / champagne yoga) or serious. You choose the style, you choose the day (s), you choose the duration. You get to choose. You’ll meet once to discuss logistics, options, and preferences and then she will show up with the appropriate equipment and we get our breath, bodies and minds working.
take home some special memories
Family Photoshoot/Portraits
We have awesome local photographers here at Snoqualmie Pass and we have worked out special packages for family photoshoots. They can come to the house and photograph there, and also go for outings in the immediate surroundings for some nature shots.
have your special day with us
Elopements & Microweddings
The Fire Lodge is a terrific place to host a small elopement, with 20 or less people in attendance. You can use the front or back yard, take photos at the house, or even venture out into nearby nature. If you want to go a little larger than that, we have teamed up with the Pass Life Workspace and they can accommodate up to 40 people for an event there. We have a great planner if you want a hand with it, contact Hannah for her services. If you want to just use the house, you don’t need to do anything. If you’d like to talk to the workspace about using their larger room and the awesome ideas they can help with, contact Brandi at the Pass Life Workspace.

General Things to Do
This is a pretty good starting point of other things to do in the area, have fun!
get out and see some nature
Guided Hike
Choose from one of the top 10 nearby hikes and have a guide take you up, have a good time, and maybe do some rockhounding along the way.
go adventure in the snow
Snowmobile Rentals
This is a great group activity, for all ages. We have had a 9yr old and 65 year old with us. You can rent the snowmobiles online with a simple booking process. The location is just 30 mins east of Snoqualmie Pass in Roslyn. From there, you’ll get all the gear, instruction, and maps. You drive right out of the parking lot (in the snow) and head down the street about 100 yards and head up the mountain. You’ll be driving on forest service roads in a winter wonderland, no prior experience required. Bring snacks and water if you like, you can have a great time in just 2-3 hours, or make it a 5 hour all day adventure. You can head up and turn around when you like, or you can head up and do a large 3~ hour loop back to where you started.
play on the nearby lakes
Watercraft Rental
Lake Cle Elum can be a fun day to go spend on the water. It’s just 30 mins from Snoqualmie Pass and you can rent boats or jet skis to have a blast out there.
the obvious main attraction
Skiing/Snowboarding
This is probably obvious, and probably the main reason to come to Snoqualmie Pass. But we’ll list some info here to recap! The mountain consists of 4 separate resorts that have combined into a single resort ownership/visitor experience over the years. Alpental, Summit West, Summit Central, Silver Fir, and Summit East. All open in the winter and available on a single lift ticket. The main place for lessons and rentals is Summit Central. The main place to have longer rides and more time on the hill would be Silver Fir. The one with the cool reputation is Alpental, but we find Silver Fir and Summit East to be even more fun. Summit East is the hidden gem, awesome variety of terrain and a little bit of trees, but usually only open on weekends in the peak of the season. Summit West is pretty basic, but can be shorter lines, and it’s walking distance to the Fire Lodge. You can crossover to all of them from any of the lifts or parking areas using crossover trails, just make sure you are heading to an area that’s open!
get out and see some nature
Tubing Park
This tubing park run by the Summit Resorts is awesome! It’s a little fast, so if you have a timid rider they might not be up for it - but kids of all ages are enjoying it all day long. They do sell out frequently, and often very far in advance, so make sure to buy tickets WELL in advance if you think you might want to do this. It’s generally about $25/person for a 90 minute session, and it’s a ton of fun.
inexpensive sledding at the pass
Free Sledding Hill
The Hyak neighborhood sledding hill is a blast for the younger kids. You can walk there from Summit East, or Hyak Chalet. Parking costs money during peak season, but isn’t charged on the fringes of the season. Bring your own sled, and you’ll also be walking up the hill, but it’s always fun for the kids to do some sledding there. Beware, the hill can be icy and hard if it’s rained/frozen, and often kids are crashing into each other and falling over, so bumps and bruises are kind of to be expected. I think our kids end up hurt about 30% of the visits there!
enjoy some of the beautiful trails for riding
Bike Riding
There are lots of places to ride bikes. From the neighborhoods, to the mountain, and the Palouse to Cascades trail. You can access the trail from many places, like the Hyak sno park, or Lake Easton State Park.
take home some special memories
Paddleboarding/Swimming
Lake Easton State Park is just east of Snoqualmie Pass and has a lot of fun stuff to do. Picnic areas, camping, RV Spots, Swimming, Playground, and trails for walking/biking. It’s a great place to pop your paddle board in the water and spend some time exploring. a
send it
Mountain Bike Park
The Summit Resort has a brand new mountain bike park with chair lift access! You can get a lift ticket, bring a bike or rent one at Evo, and jump on the chair. The scoop is that it’s not very beginner friendly, so maybe warm up at the other nearby parks in North Bend, Issaquah, or Rattlesnake Lake.
catch a chill cibe with the locals
Pass Life Workspace Yoga
This is a really popular local specialty lead by an amazing local yoga instructor. Check the website for the event schedule.
