I am form the Yakima Valley. I used to ride Ahtanum a lot, we would get there and only be maybe 2-5 trucks in the snopark. I live an hour closer now and can't get up or don't want to get up that early. Pinegrass/Section3 areas are probably my favorite. Bethel ridge area can be fun if the snow is fresh and deep as can Chinook pass, below Little Naches.
