Went there during a big snow storm, had lots of fresh powder. The terrain is quite diverse, will fit both beginner riders and advanced. Has a small town laid back atmosphere. Not as crowded as commercial resorts. Was there on a weekend in after a snow fall and max wait time for the lift was maybe about 2 minutes or less. If you want deep powder, stunning nature and lots of riding this would be the place.

Excellent experience at Mt. Baker. We travelled from Van as the snow wasn't great on the west coast at this time. Had a blast on the mostly empty slopes. Excellent array of steep blues and mega blacks. It was icy so we stuck to the blues and greens. Had fun hitting side hits on Collins and lovely park sect.

I love My Baker! Usually short lines and when the snow is good, it's great! I also participated in Sea to ski this year which was amazing even though found out after competing that I had Covid.
