About 84 miles southeast of Seattle, roughly a 2-hour drive: I-5 south to WA-18 east, then WA-164 east past Enumclaw to SR 410 east. Live cameras and DOT alerts for the whole route below — the last 41 miles from Enumclaw run on SR 410 alone, with limited to no cell coverage most of the way.
Cameras and alerts are matched to I-5 (near the SR 18 interchange), SR 18, SR 164, and SR 410 — not a full-state view. WSDOT does not run cameras on SR 410 past Enumclaw yet, so the climb itself shows alerts and road reports only, no camera image.
Crystal Mountain is a resort, not a highway pass — the road that gets you there is different from the seasonal mountain pass just past it.
SR 410 from Enumclaw to Crystal Mountain Boulevard is the resort's access road and stays open through the ski season — that's the point of the road. WSDOT's live conditions feed tracks this exact stretch under the name "Crystal to Greenwater SR 410" (2,600 ft), separate from the seasonal pass report below.

SR 410 continuing east of Crystal Mountain Boulevard climbs to Chinook Pass (5,430 ft), and SR 123 branches to Cayuse Pass (4,675 ft). Both close for the season, typically mid-November through late May, between Crystal Mountain Boulevard and Morse Creek near the summit — closed for avalanche risk, limited snow storage, and no winter emergency services on that stretch. The closure doesn't affect the drive to the resort itself, only the through-route toward Yakima.
Coverage is limited to none on SR 410 between Enumclaw and Crystal Mountain Boulevard. Check the map above and download anything you need before that stretch — not after.
For the 2025–26 season, Crystal Mountain requires a parking reservation on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Reserving within a rolling 7-day window is free, subject to availability; a season-long reservation costs $10 per day. There's no fee for the reservation itself outside that window structure — parking is separate from your lift ticket either way.
A weekend shuttle runs from the Enumclaw Expo Center and Fairgrounds — check the resort's page for the current schedule and fare. Midweek, the Monday Ski Bus and Thursday Fun Bus pick up from the Fred Meyer parking lot at 1100 N Meridian, Puyallup, for $65 a single trip or $425 for an 8-ride pass.
