 Hurricane Ridge is one of only three lift serviced ski areas operating in a US National Park (Badger Pass in Yosemite National Park, and Boston Mills/Brandywine Ski Resort in Cuyahoga Valley National Park are the others).It is the westernmost ski area in the continental United States.During months when snow is present, the 17 mile road leading to Hurricane Ridge is prone to avalanches due to high speed wind conditions.
