Stevens Pass opens with new lifts and terrain, shorter lines
STEVENS PASS — They arrived at 6 a.m. to be first in line on opening day at the Stevens Pass ski area.
The temperature hovered in the low 20s, but the stoke kept them warm.
“I’m so excited, I couldn’t wait,” said Drew Wordell of Seattle. He was one of four to take the first chair on the newly renovated Brooks lift Wednesday.
The line behind him whooped and hollered as the seat took off, breaking through a “First Chair!” banner held by resort staffers.
Some visitors took the day off work to catch opening day. Others conveniently “worked” remotely or were “under the weather.”
Originally set to open Dec. 4, Stevens Pass ski area had a mere 8 inches of snow until this past week.
