It might surprise you that according to US Weather records averaging over a 30-year period that only 5 places in the nation pretty much have snowy Christmas Day every year and one place in Washington State is the place to be.

According to the records, Stampede Pass is the place to be for guaranteed new snowfall on Christmas Day.

Trains make the trek easy and its #1 importance at one time was railroading. The only public access to the pass is from the east; access from the west is not open to the public, since this is a part of the Green River watershed according to Wikipedia.
