If you want to use real crevasses, you'll probably have to wait until spring. Popular places include the Easton and Coleman Glaciers on Mt. Baker, and the Nisqually Glacier on Rainier. However, anywhere you can find a very steep snow wall will work for hauling Z-Pulleys, such as a ploughed parking lot at a ski area or the lot at Paradise. Prusiking up a rope can be done anywhere you can manage to hang a rope- your garage, Marymoor Rock, you name it.

You can verify that the sytem works just about anywhere theres an open field and you can spread out a bit(camp long, the open fields at UW, etc etc), you'll just need a couple of pieces of rebar to drive into the ground to use as temporary anchors. However you won't be able to practice making deadman anchors unless you find a good patch of snow somewhere.
