Alpental will be open Saturday and Sunday and May 5. Washington other ski areas closed earlier this month.

Many who visit Alpental for it’s traditional Cinco de Mayo festivities choose to ski and snowboard in costume. The Summit at Snoqualmie will hold a snowboard rail jam called Kinko de Mayo on Saturday at Summit West. The event is free. Visit summitatsnoqualmie.com for more information.
