    Magical resort! This place is just amazing. We had a great fireplace cabin. The location is perfect and it's just charming. They have several different cabin options available, in addition to the suites, including a river house. Great sense of community, too: On Friday, there were s'mores by the bonfire, on Saturday there was a BBQ. They have a cute little 'general store' with beer, wine, snacks and a great list of locally made, pre-cooked meals you can make in your room or cabin, as well as any little thing you could need during your stay. There are tons of trails right off the property and they rent mountain bikes, too. The management (and dog) are wonderful to be around. We can't wait to come back! (If you're looking through older reviews, and see some that are not good, keep in mind that the resort is under new ownership/management, and has had a bunch of work done, too.)

    We booked our stay at the White River Bend cabin and are absolutely glad we did. This cabin is away from the resort. A nice space all to ourselves. So quiet and beautiful. Full kitchen, plenty of bed space for us and our three kids, heaters in each room, even a washer and dryer. The pictures posted online did not do this place justice. The views were just we needed to get away from our busy city. The kids ran among autumn leaves. We saw eagles everyday. We saw more stars than ever before. The jacuzzi on the back deck was a nice treat after traveling. Plus the master bedroom has a HUGE tub to enjoy. We went into the main office at the resort on our way to the hiking trails and everyone was so friendly and helpful showing us the way and fun suggestions. Very happy we chose this cabin and coming back as soon as possible!

    I was very happy with my stay at Alta Crystal. There is a beautiful stream on the property and also some great hiking all around. Possibly my favorite bed. The staff was helpful and very welcoming. All around a great place. Highly recommend

Before I even got to my ski lesson, the staff fixed me up with rental gear, heard my concerns around my boot fit feeling too tight and allowed me to exchange the gear with ease. I forgot a pair of goggles, and the nice young man assisting me with my skis lent me a pair without charging me. During my lesson they even assisted me with getting my lift pass for me from my locker when I didn't realize I needed it on me. It truly was above and beyond! I took my first ski lesson at Crystal Mountain with Chane. He was knowledgable, patient, and very encouraging. His instruction was clear and had me ready for the slopes by the end of our lesson. I spent the rest of the day practicing and even had lunch in between! Their Fireside Cantina was delicious and hit the spot (try the wings! they were crispy and delicious). Getting to and from the mountain was easy as well-the shuttle from the Enumclaw Expo Center was on on time and a smooth ride. I am so excited to go back and get to skiing again because I know I can look forward to another amazing experience.

White Pass has some of BEST terrain that I've seen for intermediate level skiers looking to improve their skills in Washington state. The Paradise Basin part of the ski area has lots of trails with a constant, moderate grade and doesn't have many skiers during the week. The only catch is that you need to have enough skills to at least be able to get down a Blue intermediate run and there is a SHORT Black expert pitch to navigate on the way back to the base lodge. My tip here is to learn how to side slip down this short grade. Look up side slipping on YouTube, Instagram ot Tik Tok. That's a useful skill for a progressing skier to get down slopes that turn out to be above yourr skill level. If you're skiing Paradise Basin, check out the High Camp lodge as an on-mountain place to stop with great views. Especially during the week, we'll be back. White Pass is a nice alternative midweek to fighting the crowds at Crystal Mountain, Stevens Pass and Snoqualmie.

    The ski terrain here is actually quite good given the size and proximity to Seattle. There are 4…read morelifts (+ magic carpet) - 1 serves exclusively greens, 1 serves mostly blues with some green, 1 serves blue/black and 1 exclusively blacks. So technically there is something for everyone, but not a lot of variety particularly for beginners. The views from the top of the resort (the expert terrain chair) are awesome - really impressed and could sit up there for hours if there was a place to rest but luckily you can enjoy most of the way up on the 2 person lift. As a heads up, if you have the IKON pass you need to make reservations on the IKON website in advance to ski. For weekends, this can mean at least a few days if not a week in advance (although spots can open up the day before). Also, while there is a shuttle between Alpental and the Summit you cannot ski between the two even though they share the same lift ticket. We signed up for the Alpental Mighties ski lessons which have been a mixed bag. Some of the instructors seem good, but some of the group sizes, particularly for blue-level skiers are out of control. For my 7 year old, she is in a group with 12 kids! Each week there is a new kid that has been dumped in the group that can't keep up which means the instructor spends 80% of her time with the one kid. I don't think that she can tell me anything about my kid (and that's after 4 weeks now). For my other kid, the learn to snowboard group is much more manageable although it is a different instructor every week. While I would have been more understanding given COVID, the organizer is completely unapologetic (and unresponsive) about the circumstances and claimed that lessons continued when the power went out for most of the afternoon (which was downright false since my kids were waiting to be picked up with the rest of their group when I made it down the mountain). Given COVID, there are limited services (food / indoor dining) so have not tried those and usually bring our own lunch and each by the car. Some of the more prepared come ready for a full tailgating experience which I admire.

    Yelpsop's Fables "The snow-covered sable"…read more One fine winter's morning, a sable paid a visit to the White Pass Nordic Ski area. He was road tripping, as sables these days tend to do, and was on his way to distant California, but he decided to take a break to explore the Cascades before moving on. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nordic-center-at-white-pass-naches?userid=73DZUFYAXuycbJ_eEAox1Q#l380p_9V5kIa0btFzh8XFg So, with several hours to spare, he strapped on his snowshoes and set out onto frozen Leech Lake for a partially frozen waterfall several miles away. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nordic-center-at-white-pass-naches?select=C1dMvHtw1r5f3GR4UWyoFg#42qdaItb6lCXxT3e8wgY2Q It was a pretty day, with snow and clouds and sun from time to time. There was a lot of fresh powder all around, and he plowed through the gigantic snow drifts with carefree curiosity. He reveled in the moment, in the strange new circumstances in which he found himself, in the endless expanse of trees, snow, and sky. Several xcountry skiers were sighted from time to time, and a few snowshoe groups, but mainly he and his partner were alone in the whitewashed woods of wintry Washington, silently taking in the sights and sounds. For a $15 fee, they had access to the trails and wandered them to their hearts' content, for several long and enjoyable hours. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nordic-center-at-white-pass-naches?select=C1dMvHtw1r5f3GR4UWyoFg#EkF6FOuXSlyTGTUawg4OMw And then, snow-covered and satiated with winter's magic, they returned to the waiting car and sped off, down the mountain, for Oregon and the Willamette Valley and the Pacific coast after that. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nordic-center-at-white-pass-naches?select=C1dMvHtw1r5f3GR4UWyoFg#f9eT6duYkfGqAsWTH5JA7A Goodbye, White Pass! Perhaps we'll meet again someday. Moral: Road trips aren't just about the road. Get off the beaten path sometimes, and bring your snowshoes with you. You never know when winter's magic will come a'calling. When it does, be ready for frolicking fun. Just like the snow-covered sable.

    It's always better in a yurt…read more Yes, so I was ready this year. I bought my very first cross-country skiing set-up and a ski rack for my rig. I wanted to get my XC skiing on. But unfortunately, a winter which started with so much potential has been looking utterly sad as of late. After being skunked for two weekends in a row, decided to bite the bullet and head up to White Pass even if the forecast looked ugly (meaning warm & wet). Sure enough the drive up didn't instill confidence. We didn't see ANY snow for much of the drive up, but luckily right toward the pass, the snow started to look a little more substantial. White Pass wasn't completely packed, but I was surprised with the lack of parking near the Nordic Center. I was further surprised by the number of people at the Nordic Center. So we went to the Nordic Center which is basically a yurt (a Mongolian tent/cabin-like structure). We were greeted by staff here, and we got the 411 about the trails. We also bought our passes for the day (they were only $9!). As of the last few weeks, the only issue up here is a washout on the trail south of the lake. You'll have to get out of your skis and follow the walkway through it. Now most of the trails are groomed. They have also opened up a loop called Zig Zag which had been closed for a few years. Oh, and snow shoe-ers are also welcome on the trails up here, too. As for why all the people---the Nordic Center dude said it is because they were having a Jamboree. Basically it's an event to get people to come up from the East and West side to enjoy the Nordic style. It was cool. All the people here seemed really nice. My kind of people, I reckon! The yurt is cozy. There are a few tables to chill at. There are snacks and hot drinks available. There's only one bathroom in here, so you'll have to wait in line. We made it quick and tried to get on the snow ASAP. So, there's a (very) slight descent to get on the trails from the yurt. I suck at XC skiing, so I was a little scared of this, because I didn't want to eat it in front of the crowd hanging out here. Luckily we made it on to the trail with no issue. Now there are tons of trails here. There is lots of flats, some definite steep routes, and also some curvy paths. We were on the paths by about 2pm and were easily there until 5. For most of the time you are on your own because the area is big. I first came up in 2000, and with every visit, I always say I can't be a stranger. It's so much fun! Even though the weather wasn't optimal, it was still beautiful. The snow was actually really good. Being outside, barreling down a hill, sweating it up a GREAT cardio/muscle workout. The Nordic trails up here are awesomely cool!
