Editorial Review for Alpental at the Summit – by Helen Holter
The Scene
Serious skiers looking for serious powder and hard pack. Eastside tech workers abound, getting in a few opportune runs when inspiration--and the perfect conditions--strike.
The Slopes
This is no place for beginners. Alpental's most challenging runs feature craggy cliffs, sheer faces and menacingly steep chutes. Experts head straight to Upper Internationale, a picture-perfect face with moguls that test not only the thighs, but also endurance. It's here that Northwest ski hero, Debbie Armstrong, trained (eventually winning a 1984 Olympic gold medal in the women's giant slalom).
