Good afternoon skiers and snowboarders! Closing weekend is officially upon us and you will not be blowing it by coming up for one last weekend of skiing in the sunshine!

We want to thank all of you who have taken time out of your busy lives to come up and make some turns with us this year. Lucky for you, it’s not over yet! After 25” of new snow this week and sunshine all weekend long, this will be the place to be. Bring your best outfits, sunglasses, and high energy. Let’s send this season out in legendary Mt. Baker style!

Tomorrow and Sunday, we will be operating out of all three lodges with all eight chairlifts spinning! Gather your friends, family, and anyone else you know who likes to have fun in the sun! And we’ll see you up here!
