Hey, do you hear that phone ringing? Oh yeah, let's see who it is.
Closing weekend is calling and boy does it have something to offer to you! We will start out Friday with endless sunshine and spring skiing laps, roll into Saturday with live bands at White Salmon, hot burgers and hand cut fries, and good laughs with all of our Mt Baker friends. What are you waiting for?! Slather on some sunscreen, put on your silliest outfit, and come join us on the mountain for one last hurrah!
We are looking at the potential of some precipitation rolling in later on in the weekend. Maybe we will be blessed with a fresh layer of the good stuff before Sunday morning rolls around. As always with our favorite Baker weather systems, prepare yourself for a bit of everything.
A few important reminders as we embark on closing weekend for the 2023-24 season. For season pass holders, we will not issue any grace tickets this weekend for forgotten passes, so pull them out of your jacket pockets and tie it on to your Hawaiian shirt instead! Operations will be based out of the White Salmon Base Area, with Chairs 3-8 rolling and the Raven Hut open for a midday chill out and warm up.
Check back here for the latest operations updates. We can't wait to see you all back on the mountain soon!
