The resort’s own pages disagree on some details. See what they say.
The resort’s site doesn’t say whether base-area parking costs anything.
Check Mission Ridge’s own site before you go: www.missionridge.com.
The free SkiLink bus from Link Transit runs from Wenatchee on weekends and holidays all season, with seven round trips a day. On select holiday and weekend dates you can also park at the offsite lot 4 miles down the road and ride the shuttle up, with a discounted lift ticket.
- The resort’s site doesn’t describe day parking at the base. It only covers overnight RV parking, which needs an online reservation 24 hours ahead.
- The offsite shuttle runs mornings until noon and afternoons from 2pm to 5:30pm, with no night shuttle. The posted offsite dates (12/27 to 1/4, plus MLK and Presidents’ weekends) don’t give a year.
Where the official pages disagree
The offsite parking page says the morning shuttle starts at 7:45am, but its schedule table lists a first departure from the Boy Scout camp at 7:30am.
