Good afternoon, skiers and snowboarders! It’s the last couple midweek days of the season - the views have been stunning and the late morning skiing has been fun in the soft snow. Make sure to check out our update video above for a glimpse, but don’t miss the real thing! We know it’s beautiful in town, but it’s even better up here. The weather the next couple days is expected to stay clear, warm, and sunny. Don’t forget your shades and sunscreen.
Tonight is the last night of special events for our pre-registered overnight campers, who can look forward to live music, a small bonfire, and s’mores. Spring Break lives on, though, with Alpenglow Skiing on chairs 5, 7, and 8 Thursday and Friday evenings until 7:30pm. Along with twilight hour skiing, there will be extended rental, retail, and food services at White Salmon.
Catch you on the mountain soon!
EVENTS ON TAP:
April 6-8: SPRING BREAK – Stay local for Spring Break and dial up the fun factor at the same time!
April 9-10: ALPENGLOW SKIING – Ski and ride until 7:30 p.m. on Chairs 5, 7 & 8!
April 11: LAST STAND RAIL JAM – This contest gives all levels of skiers and snowboarders the opportunity to show off the progression they have made shredding The Sticks, while enjoying a festive spring atmosphere.
April 11 & 12: RAVEN’S EDGE RACE – This race is open to all skiers and snowboarders of any age who would like the chance to run the gates, no experience required. It is hosted by the Komo Kulshan Ski Club and helps raise funds to support the club’s mission of bringing skiing opportunities to children who might not otherwise get the chance.
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
