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!

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.

Even though the weather didn't agree with us, we still had an enjoyable time. We purchased our tickets online a few days ahead because you get a better price that way. Each ticket is good for two separate rides. We arrived just after 10 in the morning and it was grey and overcast. The sky was very cloudy and there was a foggy mist over the mountains. It was lovely but not the best weather for sight seeing. We went ahead and rode up the mountain and back and it was fun but as you can guess the views weren't great from the gondola. About half the ride it was just like being inside frosted glass and all we could see was grey. We stayed at the top for a while but the winds were to fierce for our pup so we headed back down and spent some time eating, shopping and enjoying the area. We were hoping the weather would clear up later in the afternoon. Unfortunately for us, Mother Nature had other plans and it was cool, foggy and totally overcast all day. I wasn't even really that disappointed though because it was just so beautiful being there. It was honestly my favorite kind of weather. On our second ride, we did try riding the famous "Green Gondola". We had seen other people waiting for it on our earlier ride and asked a staff member what it was all about. They said it was just a replacement gondola so it didn't match the others exactly and we kind of laughed at how silly it is but people love things that are unique. There was no line, so we gave it a go and I'm here to tell you that it didn't part the clouds and I haven't won the lottery since riding it :) Sorry to say it is just like the red ones. Even with the weather, we made a really nice day of it and if you haven't seen this area, I would definitely recommend giving the gondola a try. I think next time we will probably risk the higher prices at the gate to make sure the weather is cooperating for the ride.

It was an honor to be part of this historic landmark hotel which was established circa 1912. There are 9 rooms in which 5 rooms have their own private bathroom. The other 4 shared two bathroom. Each rooms are named after favorite local hiking trail. Each room are also decorated with combinations of William Morris wallpapers with dark and light hues. If you see it in person, it seems like you're time traveled from the first time it was established. They were also able to preserved some of the original wood and decorations inside this historic hotel. Alyssa one of the staffs is the most kindest and warmest person who always greeted us. Her and other staffs worked so hard together to keep the place going and cozy as much as possible. There's also a fire place that's available to use during winter. Also a complimentary coffee, tea and cider to help warm you after a chilly hike somewhere. Every where yo set your eyes in this place has a very special touch from people whose involved in this place. Glad we stayed here throughout our Juander Mt. Rainier. Best decision to book here! The creaky floor was one of the original thing here so t'was a fun bonus. Walk slowly fellow Juanderers.... Cons: Price is too steep and for the 10 days that we booked here we only got 10% discount and at the time they don't serve breakfast nor dinner. No microwave available for everyone to use, it would be nice if they put one and is available to use at any time. Would love to come back and hopefully they'll give a certain big discount next time. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

There was some annoying sounds though like an elevator or construction work on master bedroom side. They also had a trash can with dripping water in middle of lodge on same day so I assume they were dealing with a leak. Gorgeous location and the pool with waterslides alone was a big win, but all staff just seemed like teenage camp counselors without training or welcoming attitudes. Cons: 1. Confusing room service options. TV displayed options that werent available and didnt match what was shown online. Staff on phone was dismissive 2. Room wasnt ready. We had to wait and staff at front desk were not the best 3. We went down for smores and at 9:01 pm after trying to find the table ( not near fire pit) , we asked for marshmallows/chocolate and someone had it in hand walking into back, and when we asked, they said " sorry were done for the night". Like they could have just given us the treats even if 1 minute late, plus it was hard to locate where supplies were. No signage or anything. 4. Misleading info making it seem Nelson Family Pool is available to lodge guests on website 5. Pool lifeguards and staff were rude. Lifeguard was in charge of making slushies at front pool desk and seemed like he could care less. 6. Ketsup out for almost the entire afternoon at food truck at pool. Like there's fries and chicken strips- kinda need ketsup? They also closed up early one day 7. We tried to add on tie dye after the kayak experience but staff seemed annoyed we were asking about it. Also there was dye on the grass that stained our feet walking to kayak. 8. Parking at lodge was lacking. The restaurants next door at Social werent open yet. We had to order swiftwater cellar to go just for lunch options cause food was lacking for kids. Also, to note- door dash is non existent here. Don't even try it.

This intermediate terrain had some steep faces and wide terrain to accomdate a crowd of people. There was one day, the winds were blowing up Sun Spot and was blowing snow up the hill, which I was told was not the norm. There were some icy spots but never any rock skiing danger. I did not venture out to Chair 4 where there were two other runs open. I had lunch both days at Midway Lodge. One pulled pork rice bowl and one pulled pork sandwich. Both pork products were juicy and well seasoned, great for a mid day break. There was pleanty of seating inside as well as outside. At the base lodge area, there are multiple places to access the bathroom and getting RFID card was a snap. Just showed them my payment email and was printed a card right away. The lifts were generally fast, and they did show down for the ski schoolers occassionally. Lines were mainly only about 4 to 6 people deep and once you got your lift ticket scan, off you were to sit a spell and enjoy the views. The staff was great, answered questions and nice all around. Since it was early in the season, parking was not a problem and I was always close to the base lodge. I did not try the night skiing, so if you did buy the day pass, you could continue into the night skiing hours if you had the energy. I ended my day bot times in the 3:30 range. I did download the PDF trail map but they also had posted trail maps at certian locations avaliable. As for wifi, this worked at the base lodge area and not at Midway Lodge. Cell service worked at Midway but I noticed a few times my text messages failed to deliver, but on the second try went through. I would return here since Stevens Pass has gotten very busy in the past few years and due to road damage, I opted to try MIssion Ridge, I am glad I did.

I took her back to the rental shop to have her boots adjusted. When I explained to the boot guy, Al, that her feet were freezing, he said, "Well, it's because it's cold." He didn't move to do anything. I told him he needed to adjust her boots. He did. Her feet were fine and toasty the rest of the day. But had I not said anything, he wouldn't have done anything. When I went back later to get the guy's name, I asked a man, Steve, what the boot guy's name was. Steve said, "Well, he's wearing a name tag." I said, "Seriously?" Then he gave me Al's name. I found it interesting that they wanted me to complain to their administrative office. I'm more interested in saving others from the same experience. I doubt their administrative office would do anything. David in Rentals was wonderful. The people on the rope tow were wonderful. But I'm not going to give my money to a resort that treats people the way these guys did us in their rental shop. I'll go to Steven's Pass.
