The December deluge at sea level dumped piles of powder onto our mountains, and it's a perfect day for playing in the snow. The Summit at Snoqualmie, 50 miles out of town on I-90, boasts four parks for skiers and snowboarders, trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoe rentals, plus a great tubing hill.
