White Pass opens Saturday

Post by Craig Hill / The News Tribune on Dec. 16, 2008 at 12:20 pm |

White Pass plans to open for the season Saturday at 8:45 a.m. It will be the fifth of the six Cascade ski areas to open.

Stevens Pass opens its lifts for the season Thursday.

Crystal Mountain opened for the season Dec. 13. Mount Baker opened Dec. 14. And Mission Ridge, thanks to man-made snow, opened Dec. 6.

The Summit at Snoqualmie is the state’s only major ski area not to announce an opening day. The Summit is the state’s most popular ski area, but with a base area just 3,000 feet above sea level it is also the lowest.

OTHER OPENINGS

- Bluewood plans to open Wednesday morning.

- Mount Spokane plans to open Friday morning.
