Stevens Pass ski resort is expected to open for the season on Thursday, thanks to a weekend of heavy snowfall and this week’s cold temperatures.
In 15 of the past 22 years, Stevens Pass opened in November. Only three times during that stretch has Stevens Pass opened later in the season than today.
“After the recent weather related challenges, we’re happy to have the snow pack that will allow us to kick off operations for this season,” Stevens Pass general manager John Gifford said in a statement. “These recent storms have supplied sufficient base, and we’re looking forward to opening the mountain for our guests and employees to enjoy.”
As of this morning, snowpack depths are reported at 22 inches at the base and 30 inches on top.
