Well they say all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately this season is one of them. We had quite the season, and none of it would’ve been possible without you. From 130+ inches of snow in what we’re calling “March Radness”, an awesome Legendary Banked Slalom, and the introduction of our new Wicket Wednesdays, this season was as fun as it was deep. Oh! And how could we forget, our very own lodge cats went viral!
As we begin to wind down for the summer, we at Mt. Baker can’t thank you all enough for making the 2024-25 season so special. We loved hearing about the memories you shared with our staff, seeing your sends & fails on various websites, and taking your feedback to make the ski area a better place. It truly is you, our customers, who make this place home. It might take a little bit of fairy dust and a whole lot of snow, mixed with our awesome employees and volunteers to run this place. But at the end of the day, we wouldn’t be here without you. So, thank you all for the season and we can’t wait to see you all up here again next season!
Happy Easter, Happy Spring, Happy Happy everything! Thanks to everyone who made it up to visit this season, we’ve been so delighted to see you all up here this year. Give a big high five to all those employees who made it all happen, you all rock!
