White Pass Ski Season Ending This Weekend, More Briefs
Spokesperson Kathleen Goyette says the season started out slow with a lack of snow at resorts throughout the west, “And that always hurts our bottom line.”
That lack of early snow contributed to a 20 percent decrease in visits this season when compared to last season. The snow did fall in late January and continued through last weekend.
This weekend only the front side of the mountain will be open, and because of warming temperatures, the mountain will only be open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

O'Rourke says the city is simply trying to create safe intersections where drivers are not distracted.
The city council is expected to discuss the issue at its next council meeting May 6.
