What is the road to White Pass like right now?

US 12 at the top of White Pass, between Packwood and Naches. This page puts WSDOT's cameras and its closure and crash reports for that road on one map. Washington publishes no plow positions, and the page says so instead of guessing. The resort's own White Pass current conditions covers the mountain itself.

Plows on the road right now

Washington publishes no plow positions. WSDOT does not put its trucks on a public feed, so no page can show them. Here is what WSDOT does publish:

The cameras above are the ones within 25 miles of the base, nearest first. Closures and crashes are in the next box. For the states and provinces that do publish trucks, see the snowplow map.

Closures and crashes on the road

WSDOT reports on US 12 within 75 miles of the base, or on any road inside the 25 miles ring: full closures, crashes, weather, hazards and lane or ramp closures. Scheduled closures are marked. Nothing listed means nothing posted, not an all-clear.

What this page can and cannot tell you

WSDOT publishes its cameras and its closure and crash reports, and that is what this page shows. It does not publish where its trucks are, so no page can show that for Washington. The closure list is WSDOT's own feed, read every five minutes and converted to the format MileCheck uses for every state. A quiet list means WSDOT has posted nothing for these roads, which is different from a road being open.

The 25 miles ring is the search area for trucks and cameras. A truck reporting on US 12 is kept out to 75 miles from the base, the stretch a driver is actually on; anything inside the ring is kept whatever road it is on, so a truck on a side road near the base still shows. The resort's own White Pass current conditions is the source for snowfall, lifts and the parking lots.

Questions about the road to White Pass

Is the road to White Pass open right now?

The map shows every closure and crash WSDOT is publishing on US 12 as a red or orange marker, and the list under it says when the DOT last updated each one. No marker means WSDOT has not posted a closure, not that the road is open. It reloads every five minutes. For the official word, open WSDOT.

Why are there no plows on this map?

WSDOT does not publish its trucks' positions. Seventeen states and provinces do, and the snowplow map shows them. For Washington, the cameras and the WSDOT reports on this page are what exists.

Are chains required on the road to White Pass?

Chain and traction requirements are set by WSDOT per road and per storm, and they show up in the WSDOT feed as restrictions, which this page lists when they are on US 12. Washington's chain law explains the levels and who they apply to. Always follow the posted signs.

How often does this page update?

Plow positions every minute, closures and crashes every five minutes, the camera list every ten. MileCheck's server reads the WSDOT and WSDOT feeds and converts them to one format. Each truck and each alert carries its own time stamp from the DOT, shown next to it.
