Hurricane Ridge is a mountainous area in Washington's Olympic National Park. It is open to skiing and snowboarding.

At an elevation of about 5,200 feet, Hurricane Ridge is a year-round destination. In summer, visitors come for views of the Olympic Mountains, as well as for superb hiking. During the winter months the small, family oriented Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area offers lift serviced downhill skiing and snowboarding.

Hurricane Ridge is named for its intense gales and winds. The weather in the Olympic Mountains are unpredictable, and visitors should be prepared for snow at any time of year.

Located in the Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge can be accessed by road from Port Angeles.
