CURRENT UPDATE: Monday Oct. 31

YES, WE RECEIVED A LOAD OF SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT! WE HAVE 14 NEW AT HEATHER MEADOWS WHICH BRINGS THE BASE AT THE UPPER AREA TO A WHOPPING 24 INCHES . . . .BEFORE NOVEMBER 1ST!

MOUNTAIN FORECASTS ARE CALLING FOR THE FREEZING LEVEL TO RISE UP TO ABOUT 6OOO FEET TODAY – SO IT IS LIKELY WE WILL LOOSE A LITTLE BASE – HOWEVER! THE FREEZING LEVEL IS THEN EXPECTED TO DROP STARTING LATE TUESDAY, WITH IT DROPPING TO 3000 ( WHICH IS BELOW WHITE SALMON) BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND STAYING DOWN AT A CHILLY 3000 THROUGH THE WHOLE WEEKEND – WITH MORE SNOW EXPECTED!

WE ARE CERTAINLY STARTING TO BUILD A SIGNIFICANT BASE, BUT WILL STILL NEED MORE SNOW WITH A MORE LONG TERM COLD FORECAST. HOWEVER, WE ARE WELL ON THE WAY AND FINAL PREPARATIONS ARE HAPPENING NOW SO THAT WE CAN BE READY TO ROLL AS SOON WE ARE ABLE TO BUILD A LITTLE MORE ON THIS FAVORABLE WEATHER PATTERN!

A REMINDER THAT MONDAY OCT. 31 IS THE LAST DAY OF PRESEASON DISCOUNTED SEASON PASS RATES. YOU CAN ORDER ONLINE AT MT. BAKER.US AND GET THE DISCOUNTED RATE – OR OUR BUSINESS OFFICE IN BELLINGHAM WILL BE OPEN MONDAY UNTIL 6:00PM. CALL 734-6771 FOR MORE INFO. FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH A SEASON PASS FROM LAST SEASON, THE PRESEASON RATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL DECEMBER 9TH FOR YOU.

While last winter in the Pacific Northwest had it’s challenges, to help put it in perspective, Mammoth Mountain raved about a “ski area record snowfall year,” but they ended up receiving 491 inches in the same time period – just 12% more than Baker.
 
yea its finnaly snowin in the NW, might have to take a drive up to t-line this weekend and do some midnight skking before the groomers start
 
yea its funny how people were shitting their pants about 500 some odd inches in utah and stuff, when typically baker gets about 600-800. or... you know, 1,148 inches in a season...
 
I ski stevens, but i would totally be down for some thanksgiving weekend action. Especially considering I only skiied 12 days last year with the stupid weather.
 
thats the best news ever. i think i just went in my pants! i'll call the 17th for opening day, but i hope your right about the 10th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
