Super stunning and fascinating trail. Recommend going on the weekday. Easy to walk with the best view in Mount Baker.
Mt. Baker is one of my favorite ski spots in Washington—I've been coming here for years. It’s a smaller resort, but that means fewer crowds and rarely any lift lines. The terrain is especially great for advanced skiers, though there’s something for all levels. It also gets a ton of snow, making it perfect for powder lovers. The views from the top are breathtaking, and the lodge food is solid. Chains are usually required in winter, so come prepared. I personally prefer parking in the lower lot—less hassle and easy access to the lifts. A true gem of a mountain!
First time skier and oh boy it was awesome! Jon was a fantastic instructor. Super patient, friendly and skilled which made first time experience a great memory. This was topped by the fact that the general atmosphere, the other people skiing, the staff members and the food was good too. (Vegetarian options with no egg was also available and I believe a Thai varient too). Would totally recomend this place!
Its pretty good place, come early to have fun! All the staff its really helpful, to figured out and problem solve!
Visited again last weekend it was awesome so beautiful with no issues. The staff was very nice everyone very helpful..I believe the snowboarding and helmet rental guys name is John he's so cool. I can't wait to visit before the season is over in April.
From beginner to expert, this area has a hike for you with spectacular views all around. We did a short hike to Artist Point.
Absolutely beautiful. This was my first trip up here. And in the summer it was stunning. I will be back to see the snow. It was packed on a clear Saturday but worth it.
For a 5 dollar parking fee, you have access to an amazing and beautiful subalpine meadow. Hard to describe in words.
Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
