Learn to Ski Program at White Pass

A program for Central Washington middle school students

Do Hard Things and Dream Bigger!

More Than Skiing
When you sign up for the White Pass Foundation Learn to Ski program, you’re doing more than learning to ski—you’re building confidence, making friends, and exploring Central Washington’s most beautiful winter playground. Our mission is simple: to give youth access to outdoor adventures that inspire them to grow, overcome challenges, and dream big.
