Mt. Baker Ski Area . . . Opening Day . . .

News, Recreation•on November 5th, 2010•No Comments

OPENING DAY 2010-11

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.
