Mt. Baker - is without a doubt one of the few areas left where skiing and snowboarding takes priority over anything else and where the mountain still gives you that feeling of being part of something that is intimately your own. They currently hold the world record snowfall from the 98/99 season and this year they opened boasting the deepest base out of any ski area in the world. For beginners and intermediate skiers and riders, Mt. Baker offers several runs out of the Heather Meadows Base with a discount lift price for those who decide not to venture off the beginner chair. For more advanced to expert skiers and riders, Baker's options are limitless with tight, tree-lined steeps and some of the best backcountry terrain in the world. Dave

Advanced Skier - Mt. Baker is phenomenal! The terrain, the snow, and the lack of lift lines make this a very desirable place for any serious skier. Sure, you can go to Whistler and spend a lot of money but if you want to avoid all the attitude go south. It's just too bad that for some people there is a damn border!! PS. They're brown bag friendly! Alan

Advanced Snowboarder - Went to Mt Baker this first weekend of December and got lucky to get fresh dump of snow that was fluffy like Colorado snow because Washington is usually heavy snow. We went snowboarding the in some great mt Baker backcountry, wanted to make a jump but my buddies did want to stop. I guess i can't blame them. Joe
