Mt. Spokane Webcam – Chairlifts, Runs and the Snow Stake

The Mt. Spokane Webcam is a set of eight live cameras run by Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park, the nonprofit ski area on Mount Spokane, about 37 kilometers (23 miles) northeast of Spokane, Washington. The main view looks down the Hidden Treasure (Chair 4) lift line from the top, with empty chairs on the left, towers running off between dark conifers and the open run in front. Seven tabs cover Northwood, Vista Cruiser, Parkway Express, the Half Hitch Terrain Park, Hourglass run, Lodge 2 and the snow stake. In early November the runs show brown grass under a thin dusting of snow, and on a cloudy morning fog hides everything beyond the first few towers. Opening day is projected for December 5, 2026.

About Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park

The ski area covers the upper slopes of Mount Spokane inside Mount Spokane State Park, which Washington State Parks lists at 12,444 acres (5,036 hectares), the largest state park in Washington. The resort gives a summit elevation of 5,889 feet (1,795 meters), a base lodge elevation of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters) and 2,000 skiable vertical feet (610 meters) spread over 1,704 acres (690 hectares). Its 53 designated runs are served by one triple chair, five double chairs, a handle tow for the terrain park and a surface lift in the learning area.

Lodge 1 and Chairlift 1 were built in 1955, and concessionaire A.E. Mettler added Lodge 2 and a second lift in 1961. In 1997 Mt. Spokane 2000, a nonprofit group of local businesses and civic leaders, took over the concession, and the resort still calls itself the only nonprofit ski area in the region. Northwood, the sixth chairlift, opened in 2018 and added terrain on the back side of the mountain. In 2024 came the Half Hitch Handle Tow, a 692-foot (211-meter) rope lift that serves only the terrain park and carries up to 700 riders an hour.

The Northwood camera sits right beside the top terminal of Chair 6, so a chair can hang a few meters from the lens with the next tower behind it. At the top of Vista Cruiser (Chair 1), chairs hang from the cable beside a tower, and a run sign stands on its post at the left. The Half Hitch camera, at the top of the terrain park, looks down the line of the handle tow. Hourglass looks up the run from outside Lodge 1, and the Lodge 2 camera, at the base of Illuminator (Chair 2), has the green housing of the lift terminal at its right edge. Parkway Express (Chair 3) looks across a broad, open slope with little close to the lens, so in fog it turns almost entirely grey.

Weather and Climate on Mt. Spokane

Winter is long and cold up here. Ten years of Open-Meteo data (2015 to 2024) put December and January highs at base lodge height just below freezing, around -2°C to -1°C (28°F to 30°F), with nights near -8°C (18°F). The summit is colder still, with January highs close to -5°C (23°F). The resort marked the first snow of the 2026-27 winter on October 11, 2026, but November still averages highs of about 2°C (36°F), and in the resort’s own words early snow often soaks into the ground instead of sticking around. On the cameras, early November means brown grass poking through a thin coat of snow on every run, and lift towers fading into the cloud.

Summer is mild. July highs at base height average about 25°C (77°F) with lows near 13°C (55°F), while the summit stays a few degrees cooler at around 22°C (72°F). April still brings freezing nights and highs near 9°C (48°F), and October highs fall back to about 11°C (52°F).

Things to Do Near Mt. Spokane

In winter the draw is the skiing, including night skiing on 16 lit runs, which the resort bills as the only night skiing in the region. The Half Hitch Terrain Park starts at the top of Half Hitch run, skier’s left of Parkway Express, and grows through the season as snow allows. Families can book 90-minute weekend sessions on the snow tubing hill at Lodge 1, a 400-foot (122-meter) slope with five lanes and a tow rope back to the top. Outside the ski area, the state park is open to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, and a Sno-Park permit is needed to park at the Selkirk Lodge lots.

In summer the state park opens the Summit Road, kept open daily until dusk, and the drive ends at Vista House, a stone shelter on the summit built in 1933 by local contractor E.O. Fieldstad. The park has around 100 miles (161 kilometers) of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Back in the city, Riverfront Park and Spokane Falls sit side by side in downtown Spokane.
