This Chelan-area ski and tubing hill would be a very ambitious day trip (3–4 hour drive from Seattle), but if you have the time, take a few days and book a place to stay. With rope tows and a four-lane tubing hill, this volunteer, nonprofit resort is a great option for families who want to get away.
Fee: $15 for a full-day pass ($10 for a half-day) for tubing with tube provided. Free for kids ages 5 and under and fifth graders. Fifth graders ski and tub for free here.
Status: As of Dec. 18, closed. Echo Valley's website indicates it's aiming to open on Dec. 19. Check the website for updates.
Hours: Open daily, check the website for holiday hours.
Warm up: The base area has a day-lodge with a roaring fireplace and an eatery.
