49 Degrees North Ski Area is a ski resort in the northwestern United States, located inside Colville National Forest in Stevens County, Washington, ten miles (16 km) east of Chewelah, which is 42 miles (68 km) north of Spokane.

[1][2] It is actually at 48.3° North, about fifty miles (80 km) south of the 49th parallel, the international border with Canada.

Following two consecutive winters of poor weather, the ski area filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 1990.

[10] In the spring of 2019, the ski area was sold to CMR Lands LLC, headed by Seattle-area businessman Tryg Fortun.

The group also owns Silver Mountain in Kellogg, Idaho, purchased three years earlier in 2016.
