Thankfully, Washington’s ski areas and resorts are open this year, with a limited daily capacity. And if you’re an avid skier or snowboarder, you may already be familiar with White Pass’s annual Winter Carnival, an event that marks the end of winter each year. The good news is, the team at White Pass Ski Area does hope to host some version of the Winter Carnival in 2021. And while that will depend on current conditions, the thought of checking out those massive ice sculptures is pretty exciting.
