Lots of snow fell over the weekend giving the ski area a chance to open for the year.So far 49” are at the summit 28” at the base area. White Pass officials say they anticipate running all lifts except for the Couloir Express.

The Nordic Center and Tubing areas will also be open by this weekend

Apparently that area needs more snow. A press release from the ski area says;
"We will continue to evaluate conditions and we will update open lifts and terrain on Thursday morning. Our Nordic Center will open on Friday, December 17th and our Tubing Operation is slated to open on Saturday, December 18th. While Nordic and Tubing tickets may be purchased on-site, all lift tickets must be purchased in advance. Last season, we experienced many SOLD OUT days, so we want to be sure you do not make the trip without having your lift ticket handled.
While this is our plan, please keep checking the SNOW REPORT PAGE for daily updates."

There are some COVID-19 requirements
