Questions about life in washington

whats up washingtonians. so i'm tired of co and looking to relocate, had a few questions about the pnw. we aren't really looking to live in a ski town anymore. with that said skiing is still a huge part of life, (80-100 days a year) so we want to be somewhat close to have decent access to the most amount of terrain. kinda looks like baker is isolated a little up north, would love to live north of seattle, but i wanna be able to have access to other mountains since i have been isolated to one mountain for a while now. Anyways as far as towns are concerned we are looking for a chill spot to be. are there any multi mountain passes? do i have to drive all the time or are there busses? bus passes? I am sure i'll have more questons. help a brotha out!!
