49 Degrees North is 10 miles outside Chewelah, Washington, in the Colville National Forest. The summit is 5,774 feet and the base 3,923 feet. The patrolled area covers 2,325 acres in three basins across two peaks, Chewelah Peak and Angel Peak. Seven lifts, including one high-speed quad, serve 90 marked trails, rated 30% beginner, 40% intermediate, 25% advanced and 5% expert. The resort averages 301 inches of snow a year, and its Nordic center has 10 miles of trails and a yurt.
There are two still cams, one at the base and one at the top. The Lodge cam looks up from the main lodge at the lower runs and lifts, and the Summit cam shows the top at 5,774 feet. The two are more than 1,800 feet apart in height, so compare them to see whether snow at the top reaches the base.
From Spokane, take US-395 north to Chewelah, turn east on Main Street and follow Flowery Trail Road for 10 miles to the resort. Another route uses US-2, SR-211 toward Cusick and SR-20, then Flowery Trail Road from the east. Spokane International Airport (GEG) is about 60 miles away.
