Haven't tried night skiing?

Take advantage of the newly expanded night skiing operation. Tony Hickok, spokesperson for Mission Ridge Skiing and Board Resort, recently told KPQ News -

“The new lighting system has increased the available terrain for night skiing at the resort by 80 percent."

42 new light poles have been added along the Upper Basin run off of the Wenatchee Express chairlift, which creates a vertical drop of 2,250 feet.
The lighting reaches the summit of the ski area, which will offer skiers a view of city lights of Ellensburg and Ephrata and many points further in all directions.
A total of 11 runs on more than 70 acres of terrain will be lit. Night terrain will now be served by 3 chairlifts and 3 surface lifts..
