Ahhhhhhh, Shuksan! Today is going to be an absolute sunshiny stunner. Come bask in the glory and enjoy the best views the North Cascades have to offer! Today we'll have a special treat with live music by Bellingham's own ELK. Temps will start out on the chilly side, with significant warming and highs climbing to the mid to upper 40s. We're down to the final days of operation for the 2024-25 season, so don't miss out if you want to get some last laps with your friends at Baker!
Today we will be based out White Salmon and the Raven Hut, with Chairs 3-8 rolling with Chair 7 and the free handletow available for beginners. Today is also the final day of lesson programs for this season. There’s walk-in space available for the 9am slot, so check in with our welcoming instruction team by 8:30 at the Fly Buy desk just through the White Salmon parking lot entrance door.
The ski area will be closed Monday April 14th through Thursday April 17th, then will re-open Friday, April 18th for the final three days of the 2024-25 season! Closing day is Sunday April 20th.
Last but not least DON'T FORGET about the Last Stand Rail Jam in the Sticks on April 19th. Our Freeride Feature Zone folks are stoked to share with you their exclusive rail set up for contestants only.
