Posted

The White Pass Ski Area is preparing to open for winter sports enthusiasts this weekend.

Conditions permitting, it will be open for skiers and snowboarders on Friday, Nov. 22, for season pass-holders only, before beginning regular lift ticket sales on Saturday and Sunday.

Lift ticket sales for Saturday and Sunday are expected to start online on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

“Once we are open, be aware that early season conditions exist. That means rocks, stumps and more lay just below the surface. Ride with great care. See you soon!” the White Pass Ski Area website stated.

As of Wednesday, the snow’s base depth at White Pass’ summit was 61 inches, while it was 18 inches at the base area near the ski lodge. The mountain had received 18 inches of new snowfall within the past 24 hours as of Wednesday.



Skiers and snowboarders are also advised to check the ski area’s website to see which ski lifts are running.

Following this opening weekend, White Pass Ski Area will be closed throughout Thanksgiving week before reopening on Friday, Nov. 29.
