Alpental

On the east side of the valley lies Guye Peak, Cave Ridge, and Snoqualmie Mountain.

The hiking trails provide access to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness; there is a rich climbing history starting from the Alpental Valley floor.

Recent additions by Booth Creek Holdings have added gas fire pits, heated sidewalks, and other human comforts.

The expert-run International is well-known among Puget Sound area skiers and snowboarders, and has been affectionately nicknamed "Nash."

Four chair lifts and a magic carpet on the west side of the valley beneath Denny Mountain serve the ski area.

Most of the upper slopes of the valley are publicly owned under the management of the United States Forest Service (USFS).

The Summit at Snoqualmie (including Alpental) is owned by CNL Income Properties with a long-term lease to Boyne USA Resorts.

The ski runs of the Alpental Ski Area are on USFS Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest land and are operated under a Special Use Permit (SUP) [3][4] Additional smaller private development includes two condo complexes[5] in the upper valley, a small number of private homes in one Bavarian themed subdivision in the mid-valley that began in 1968.
