Mt. Baker Ski Area

I live in Vancouver. This is my first time to My Baker skiing. I really enjoy it. It was a blue bird day. The snow was great, the runs were fun, and most importantly, the lineup for the lift was short. I stayed at chair 1 & 6 area. The average waiting time was less than 1 min. WOW! Plus the astonishing mountains view. I definitely will go back for more.

I was hesitant to ski at Mount Baker because I had the mistaken impression that their runs are harder than most (compared to my fav Colorado places) and that they don't groom. But they DO groom and there ARE easy runs. (The only problem with grooming is that if it snows, the snow falls so fast that it quickly covers the corduroy. No snow today though.) I did a class as part of their Senior Thursdays program and it was totally fun and not scary at all! Now of course, today was a PERFECT day for skiing (warm and calm) and most days at Mt Baker aren't like today, but I still recommend that you give it a try sometime! A nice advantage - I got there at 8:15am and was able to park my car less than 100 feet from the lift (White Salmon C7). As for food, you can get a vegetarian breakfast burrito or vegetarian sandwich (with an "impossible"-type sausage) at the lodges. I had the veg breakfast sandwich made to order because there weren't any veg items premade, and that was GREAT. It was a weekday, so probably on weekends they have veg items premade along with the meaty things. They also have espresso drinks. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Mount Baker is tiny even compared to Eldora near Boulder, but big enough to hold my interest a few times a year.

The most down to earth ski hill anywhere. Great snow coverage, great lodge food (not fancy), lots of variety of runs to ski from expert to beginner. They are actually independent and local with none of the corporate bs that has infected most of the industry. Come hang out on the coolest hill with seriously independent skiers and boarders who like to spend time on the mountain under the shadow of Mt Shuksan.

January 2025, went on a sunny day, start with lush green forest then snow started to appear, very beautiful, ski area is great, took sometime to park the car.

Great mountain and snow conditions. I would like to come back but it would be mid week rather than the weekend because it was crowded!

We have so much fun with this sli resort 😍 their are family oriented and the stuff very friendly and kind. Prices are good too. The views are amazing 👏

A gem at the end of Hwy 532 (explains the "Go West" promo gear), but beware: there are no Public Facilities at the cabin/chalet area. Park near either of the Main Lodges to avoid Yellow Snow Syndrome.

First time coming here and I had an absolute blast! Fresh powder and tons of terrain. Very friendly staff as well.
