dbo:abstract
  • Der White Pass (1.371,6 m hoch) ist ein Gebirgspass im Pazifischen Nordwesten der Vereinigten Staaten über die Kaskadenkette im Bundesstaat Washington, südöstlich des Mount Rainier und nördlich der Goat Rocks. Der U.S. Highway 12 quert den Pass und verbindet das Yakima County im Osten mit dem Lewis County im Westen. Eine Abkürzung über den White Pass zwischen Packwood und Naches wurde erstmals 1931 als State Road 5 über den Pass geführt, und im August 1951 als Verbindung fertiggestellt, die später als U.S. Highway 12 eingerichtet wurde. Das White Pass Ski Area, auf der Passhöhe gelegen, wurde am 11. Januar 1953 eröffnet. Die meisterhaften Skirennläufer, die Zwillinge Phil und Steve Mahre (und ihre sieben Geschwister), wuchsen am White Pass auf, wo ihr Vater Dave Mahre der Manager des Skigebiets war. Am White Pass wohnt auch der Profi-Snowboarder Marc Frank Montoya, der Eigentümer der Block Hotels. Der pass liegt in Luftlinie etwa vierzig Kilometer südöstlich vom Gipfel des Mount Rainier fünfzig Kilometer nördlich des Mount Adams. (de)
  • White Pass (elev. 4,500 feet (1,372 m)) is a mountain pass in the northwest United States, in the Cascade Range of Washington, southeast of Mount Rainier and north of Goat Rocks. U.S. Highway 12 travels over White Pass, connecting Yakima County on the east with Lewis County. It was named after Charles A. White, a surveying engineer who led the party that discovered it for the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1878. A shortcut route across White Pass between Packwood and Naches was first established 91 years ago as State Road 5 in 1931, and the link was completed in August 1951 along the current route, later designated U.S. Route 12. White Pass Ski Area, at the summit, opened on January 11, 1953. Champion ski racing twins Phil and Steve Mahre (and their seven siblings) grew up on White Pass, where their father Dave Mahre was the mountain manager for the ski area. White Pass is also the home mountain of professional snowboarder Marc Frank Montoya, owner of the Block Hotels. As the crow flies, the pass is approximately 25 miles (40 km) southeast of the summit of Mount Rainier and thirty miles (50 km) north of Mount Adams. On October 7, 2007, a single-engine Cessna Caravan crashed near White Pass while carrying skydivers; all 10 people aboard died in the crash. (en)
