We are open for racers AND general public this weekend! The only terrain with a Locals Qualifier race-related closure will be the Natural Halfpipe. Whether you are coming up for the race or just a good day on the slopes, there will be plenty of snow and open terrain to go around!
Yesterday was a contender for the best day of the season so far! Mt. Baker's received over 4 FEET of new snow this week and we have another storm cycle rolling in today. Winds should stay calm but we will see another good dump of new snow over the weekend.
March is reminding us that winter’s not over yet. There will be plenty of time for biking later on this summer, so come up and get some fresh snow while the gettins still good!
Ready to take your skills to the next level? Sign up for our All-Mountain Clinic offered March 29-30. Tailored to the goals of the group, these clinics focus on line selection, tactics for steeps and off-piste conditions, and strategies for mastering the conditions of the day. For advanced/expert skiers and riders age 13 & up. Choose from Saturday or Sunday (or join us for both!) - space is limited, register now to secure your spot.
