White Pass sits on the Cascade crest along US Highway 12, between Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens, with 1,402 acres (567 hectares) and 45 runs. The base is at 4,500 ft (1,372 m) and the top at 6,550 ft (1,996 m), a vertical of 2,050 ft (624 m). Intermediate terrain dominates at 60%, with 20% beginner and 20% advanced, and no expert runs listed. Seven lifts, three of them quads, serve the mountain, so the mountain handles a typical weekend without much fuss and lift rides stay short.

The main mountain is Pigtail Peak, reached by the Great White Express high-speed quad, with more terrain on Hogback Mountain to the west. Paradise Basin opened in December 2010, adding 13 runs, two quad chairlifts and a lodge at 6,000 ft, and the Couloir Express carries skiers to about 6,500 ft near the top of Hogback. Most of that terrain is intermediate cruising and glades, with fine powder skiing after a storm. Families and intermediates will enjoy the cruising, while experts after steeper challenges should look elsewhere in the state.

The 2025-26 season at White Pass ran from 13 December 2025 to 13 April 2026, a roughly seventeen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 400 inches. This substantial snowfall total, given the resort's position at the crest of the Cascades, supports reliable conditions across its intermediate-weighted terrain throughout the season. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather.

Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to the resort's family-friendly terrain. Given White Pass's continued local ownership and community focus, the resort draws primarily from the Yakima Valley and broader south-central Washington region rather than national destination traffic. Weekend crowds are generally heavier than weekdays.

As a Powder Alliance resort, White Pass draws some visiting skiers holding that multi-resort pass in addition to its core regional base. With no expert-rated terrain, the resort's seasonal programming leans toward family and ski school offerings rather than advanced-terrain-focused events. School holiday periods bring particularly strong family visitation given the resort's approachable terrain mix.

Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. The December 2022 ownership transition to a new local partnership has continued the resort's decades-long tradition of Yakima Valley-based ownership rather than corporate consolidation. White Pass's scenic position between Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens remains a defining backdrop through the season.
