Photo @materas // At just over 3,000' above sea level, Snoqualmie Pass isn't very high for a mountain pass. But because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it receives over 400 inches of snowfall annually, which sticks to the trees like glue because of its high moisture content. There are a group of four alpine ski areas near the pass to take advantage of all of that snowfall. Follow me @materas for more images like this from Washington and around the world. #snoqualmiepass #winter #sunset
