I love white pass! Been going since I was 6! Their school for skiing or snowboarding for the kids is always great to watch! Organization is key and they got it locked down! Both lodges provide what everyone needs food, drinks. And a warm place to sit down at!

Very nice, calm family and beginner friendly resort. Most runs are pretty easy but there is backcountry areas for the more experienced. Lots of flat parts and on a snowboard it usually requires you to unclip and pedal at points which is a hassle.

Quaint off the beaten path ski area. Nice drier snow compared to other Washington areas. Great views of Mt Rainier and Mt Adams when the sun is out. Typically not so crowded. Great tree skiing. There is a nice Nordic Area across the highway as well.
