Mountain Info

Since closing for Winter, our team has been carefully considering our Summer operations and have decided Stevens Pass will not be reopening for summer 2020 operations. 
 
While we will miss seeing you at the mountain this summer, we are confident this is the right decision for our employees and guests as we adapt and prepare for what we foresee to be an amazing winter. If you find yourself missing Stevens, hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) that crosses through our base area is open. Please enjoy the scenery, and the beauty of Cascades from the trail.

Physical Environment

Located on the crest of the Cascade Range, we receive abundant and frequent snowfall. Cool air often drifts from the eastern slope of the range through the Stevens Pass area, keeping our snow relatively dry. Stevens is located on two national forests, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie on the west side of the crest and the Wenatchee National Forest on the east. Our forested area is predominately Pacific Silver Fir, Mountain Hemlock, and Subalpine Fir, offering a visual treat when covered by fresh snowfall. The winter weather is usually comfortable, with temperatures often in the mid-twenties.

Snowfall & Terrain

Stevens averages 460" of snowfall each year, 105" of annual average snowpack, covering 1,125 acres of skiable terrain, including 52 major runs and numerous bowls, glades and faces.
