Spectacularly Rugged

Mt. Baker Ski Area sits at the edge of the wilderness in the heart of the Northern Cascades of Washington State.

Surrounded by wilderness area, national park and spectacular rugged mountains, the scenic setting of the ski area is uniquely beautiful.

The ski area is home to the world record of snowfall in one season: 1,140 inches (29 m). This record snowfall fell in the 1998-9 season.

While Mt. Baker ski area is known for numerous challenging routes ("The Chute", "Gabl's", & "Gunners Bowl"/"Canyon"),it is also known for the numerous backcountry opportunities which surround it. The backcountry is accessible from several chairlifts and is permitted through the resort following the Mt. Baker Ski Area backcountry policy.

With steep chutes, natural half-pipes, canyons and plenty of tree skiing, Mt. Baker is not a "ski rink" it is a mountain.

From I-5, take Exit 255 and follow the Mt. Baker highway (Highway 542) 56 miles to the ski area.
