Stevens Pass

Stevens Pass is a ski destination near Seattle.

Understand
Stevens Pass is one of the more popular ski destinations that is within driving distance of Seattle. The snow is typical of most Cascade resorts, which tends to be more wet than snow typical of inland resorts.

Cloud cover is a rule of life in the Pacific NW. As a result, many days the slopes are fogged in, resulting in very poor visibility. In addition, there are very few days where it is possible to ride in the sunshine.

The pass has a varied array of terrain and features that make it an enjoyable experience despite the above issues.
