The lack of crowds and great value for money given the 1,402 ac of terrain here makes White Pass a worthwhile 2.5-3 hour journey from Seattle. When the inbounds terrain gets tracked out there are tons of hike-to spots to find fresh powder and plenty of fun terrain on the backside. Enjoy the stunning views of Mt Rainier as you ski or ride down the mountain and once you're done for the day, be sure to check out The Blue Spruce Saloon, it's a favorite among the locals.
White Pass is a little hidden gem. Those that travel the extra time from the Seattle/Olympia area are rewarded with short lines, great terrain, and nacho tater tots at the mid mountain lodge. I'm lucky I live close!
