The Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area is a small ski resort located within Olympic National Park south of Port Angeles, Washington, United States. Hurricane Ridge is one of only two lift serviced ski areas operating in a US National Park (Badger Pass in Yosemite National Park is the other). 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. Park rangers may close the road leading to the snow park for a whole day.
