Stevens Pass Ski Resort is welcoming back guests after US Highway 2 reopened following improved weather conditions.
The highway was previously closed last week due to dangerous driving conditions, and reopened Tuesday night, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
WSDOT still advises drivers to use traction tires due to compact snow and ice on the roadway.
