White Pass Tubing Hill
White Pass is a bit of a drive from Seattle, but lots of families head there for winter fun. The tubing hill is not served by a lift, so make sure to wear snow shoes and layers you can adjust as you hike back up the hill. Plan on bringing your snacks (or purchase from the nearby snack shed) to keep everyone’s mood and energy up!
Park in (or near) Lot C and look for the red blade banners to find the tubing hill. Walk uphill until you see the rental and ticket building.
Status: The tubing hill is expected to open Dec. 20, 2025, for the season. Opening is dependent on conditions, so keep an eye on the website for updates and the current status.
Cost: Tickets for one session (including a tube rental) are $25 for adults; $20 for kids ages 9–16; $15 for kids ages 8 and younger. Tickets are purchased on-site on a first-come, first-served basis.
Hours: There are two sessions per day: 1–2:30 p.m. and 2:35–4:05 p.m. Once it opens, the tubing hill runs daily through the holiday season, then Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays through the end of the season in mid-March.
Warm up: White Pass offers a variety of dining options that are open during the ski season only. Grab some pizza, a hot drink, burgers, soup and salad, and more.
