Flood response in Snoqualmie, WA

Snoqualmie mayor Katherine Ross joins Good Day Seattle to talk about the city's flood response.

SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. - By December 15, the ski resort at Snoqualmie Pass was still not able to open for the season due to a lack of snow. A recent deluge of rain from an atmospheric river wiped out snow packs at Washington resorts, further delaying the usual season openings for major properties.

With the delayed start, the Summit at Snoqualmie is allowing pass holders for the 2025-2026 season to request a rollover to the next season. Those with unused passes can be automatically granted a rollover only if they apply by the Dec. 15 deadline.

The atmospheric river passing over western Washington is not doing any favors for ski resorts. Skiers and snowboarders may have to wait even longer for opening day announcements. According to Ski Central’s 10-year average dates, the Summit at Snoqualmie typically opens around Dec. 12. Webcams from the resort show that the slopes have lost much of their progress in building a solid snow base. As of Thursday, Dec. 11, only patches of snow remain at mid-mountain at Alpental, along with piles of wet, soggy machine-made snow on Snoqualmie’s beginner hill.

The resort says they will continue accepting requests. However, they are not automatically guaranteed and will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Following the developing slow start to the winter ski season, the resort put up a statement on their website, which reads as follows:

"Unfortunately, we do not have enough snow to open yet. Anyone who purchased single-day tickets, lessons, or rentals for December 13–18 will automatically receive a credit. We plan to open as soon as we have enough snow, and the forecast is hinting at a return to cooler temperatures and snowfall next week. Stay tuned for updates!"
