Mt. Baker opens this Saturday! http://mtbaker.us/ Get up early, turn on your lights and drive safe!
The Ski Area will begin daily operation Saturday out of both base areas, with 7 chairlifts running. It is early season, low snow conditions, operations will be limited to main groomed runs only and skiers and snowboarders are reminded to be mindful of early season conditions and use extra caution.
The storms are rolling in fast and thick! We received 8 inches of new snow Tuesday night, to bring our base at Heather Meadows to 18 inches. Forecasts are calling for up to another 2 feet of new snow possible by Thursday!
Depending on how much snow we actually get, as well as the upcoming forecast, we could be looking at a possible limited OPENING DAY on Saturday or Sunday. A decision on opening will be made Friday, and we will update this report daily.
Mt. Baker opens as soon as we receive enough snowfall to do so; the amount of snowfall needed depends on the quality of snow and how it packs down. That usually ranges from 24 – 36 inches to allow a limited opening and we typically open around mid-to-end of November.
Because we do not manufacture snow at Mt. Baker, and because the weather is so variable from year-to-year, it is impossible for us to set a definitive Opening Day in advance. However, once we see a favorable short-term forecast and conditions look favorable, we try to give a “soft” warning a week or so in advance, and give a 1 – 3 day advance notice of a set Opening Day. That information is posted first here on our website, and also is available on our snow report phone line at 360-671-0211 360-671-0211.
