White Pass Ski Resort

White Pass Ski Resort is a kicked - back, slightly off the beaten path sort of ski area that is lauded by both the hard-core skier / rider and the skiing or snowboarding family.

White Pass Ski Resort 

An introduction to a fine skier's resort in the Washington State's Cascades.

Powder SkierAlthough Washington State is not one of the best-known skiing states in the USA, a number of medium sized local resorts make it a great place for a ski weekend. White Pass Ski Resort, located approximately 50 miles west of Yakima in the beautiful Cascade Mountains, is a good example of a enjoyable regional ski area in Washington State.


White Pass Ski Resort Washington is relatively small: its five lifts service about 30 designated trails over 635 skiable acres. With a peak elevation of 6,000 feet, White Pass Ski Resort has a vertical drop of about 1,500 feet. Its high altitude ensures a steady supply of Washington State's best snow, an average of 350 inches a season.


Despite its small size, the terrain at White Pass Ski Resort Washington is sufficiently varied to appeal to skiers of all abilities. First time skiers can learn on a special bunny run serviced by a gentle rope tow. Beginners who have progressed past this level will find some nice green runs — Near Side, Far Side, and Lower Holiday — off Lift 3, which departs from the small base area.

White Pass Ski Resort Expansion Map

After twenty-four years of planning, the path is now clear for the development of an additional 767 acres at White Pass. On September 9th, 2008 United States District Court Judge James Robart ruled in favor of the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the White Pass Company denying the Sierra Club's and Hogback Basin Preservation Association's appeal. USFS and White Pass' arguments "carried the day" on all counts deliberated. While Judge Robart's decision was open for appeal to the 9th Circuit Court, none were filed. General Manager Kevin McCarthy commented, "Appropriately, on Armistice Day, November 11th, we determined through no appeal by the plaintiffs, that the legal battle over the expansion of White Pass Ski Area came to an end. The company can now proceed with construction. This is a day we have been looking forward to for decades, and is a testament to believing in one's cause and never allowing what is right from being derailed by obstacles".

Construction will include two chairlifts, a mid-mountain lodge and 13 named runs in the open sub-alpine basins of the expansion area. Plans also call for a new parking lot that should accommodate nearly 1000 vehicles.

Site preparation work has been underway since the September 9th decision. McCarthy expects to open the first chairlift on opening day of the 2010 / 2011 season. Source
