Backcountry Skiing Phone Clips at White Pass, 12-20-2025

Описание: Warm temps and rain hit the mountains last week, flooding the rivers. Homes and businesses outside of Seattle have been destroyed. Major highways including US Route 2 to Stevens Pass are damaged and closed. Crystal and Baker have limited workarounds. These issues go way beyond skiing - be kind out there and support local businesses if you can.

In this video we're backcountry skiing at White Pass. I had never been there before and hope to go back to explore the cliffs and chutes that you can see in the opening clip. It's a long drive for a few hours of walking uphill but would be great for a weekend stay. We were just itching to get some turns in.

The snow was good - 12 inches of cold pow over a rain crust. We did have to watch out for rocks and keep the tips up over downed trees. Another foot or two and this area would be pretty well filled in.

I'm not sure what's in store for this season yet. Maybe it'll be less focused on resort goals and more focused on backcountry adventures. Time will tell!
