White pass is a great, affordable local mountain where everyone feels like family. It is not a huge mountain, but there are amazing pow days and beautiful tree runs. If you like groomers there are some good ones too, although, most of them are a little easier than their rating suggests. I have never had a bad experience with another rider on the mountain and everyone is willing to share a lift. If you like to ski in less crowded areas this is a great mountain for that, but be prepared for everyone to be funneled into the same place near the end of the day.
