Winter Activities

A Winter Sports Haven

Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine, yet winter brings abundant opportunities for snow sports. When snow arrives, the landscape shifts into a destination for winter recreation. Hiking routes become pathways for miles of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, while alpine meadows and valleys offer prime terrain for snowmobiling. Families of skiers and snowboarders head to White Pass Ski Area. Winter in the Yakima Valley is a magical time.
