Well, it was a pretty majestic week up here at Mt. Baker, with some fantastic powder days capped off with historic night skiing and riding sessions Friday and Saturday! But now it's time to batten down the hatches ... forecasts are calling for very high freezing levels and inches of rain over the next few days. So we will be temporarily closed this Monday through Thursday, March 16 - 19. We plan to re-open this Friday March 20th. Check this report on Wednesday afternoon for another update.
Thanks to all our staff, volunteers, passholders and ticket customers who joined us for next-level night skiing fun! If you missed out, don't fret, there’s plenty more mountain magic ahead. Be sure to check out our Spring Break lineup, featuring two extended chairlift operation days plus exclusive overnight camping activities to add a little extra adventure to your mountain stay.
Calling all fans of the Feature Zone, join us for the ever popular Branch Out Session coming on Saturday, March 21st. Registration is currently open online, so check out all the details on our events page and secure your spot.
