Editorial Review for White Pass Ski Area – by John Atkins
The Scene
White Pass' intimate setting appeals to family-oriented skiers. From the front slopes, skiers can look upon Mount Rainier, the volcanic giant just 12 miles to the west. With a trail system designed in a fan shape, most runs--except those on the mountain's back side--lead to the base lodge.
The Slopes
Beginning and intermediate skiers may be dismayed by steep, mogul-clad runs such as Execution and Roller Coaster. But 60 percent of the mountain's 32 trails are intermediate runs. Even during holiday season, the longest lift line probably won't exceed nine minutes. White Pass allows boarders on all trails, though Snowboard Park offers added attractions: a quarter-pipe (for practicing radical flips and turnabouts), a kicker (a ramp for ski jumps) and three-foot fun boxes (snow-covered objects).
