About Mt Baker Ski Area
Mt Baker Ski Area holds the world record for the most snowfall recorded at a ski resort in a single season — 1,140 inches in 1998-99 — and its position on the northwest flank of the dormant volcano that gives it its name captures enormous quantities of Pacific moisture throughout a season that regularly runs from November into May. Its 1,000 skiable acres are modest in extent but deep in character: tight tree skiing, natural terrain features, and a genuine counter-culture ski atmosphere that has cultivated some of the most technically accomplished all-mountain skiers in North America over the decades. The resort operates no on-mountain lodging and the nearest accommodation is in the valley towns below, which keeps costs manageable and the clientele self-selecting toward those who come specifically for the skiing rather than the resort experience. On a powder day, few places in North America rival it.
