Happy April, Skiers and Snowboarders! We had a ton of party-goers at the Raven Hut dressed to the nines for our April Fools Rave. If you missed out on the fun today, the season isn’t over yet! With reports of ski resorts across the western U.S. closing early, Baker is ramping up with some awesome spring events. This Saturday is our Golden Egg Hunt (with TWO Mt. Baker Season Passes up for grabs) and Spring Break starts Monday with extended hours and overnight camping specials.
We’re expecting a bit of a refresh tonight and tomorrow, so kick off April the Baker way – with a snowy ride up Highway 542! See you on the mountain soon!
EVENTS ON TAP:
April 4: GOLDEN EGG HUNT – The all ages hunt will have two Mt. Baker season passes up for grabs, plus there will be two separate kids hunts for kids ages 10 & under.
April 6-10: SPRING BREAK – Stay local for Spring Break and dial up the fun factor at the same time! Twilight skiing/riding, after-hours events and more!
More info coming soon on the Raven’s Edge Race and Last Stand Rail Jam!
For people traveling to Baker from the south:
I-5 northbound is currently closed just south of Bellingham. Use alternate route Hwy 9. (It’s faster anyway if you’re coming from south of Burlington) Check WSDOT for updates & details
