Wow - this is quite the storm cycle we're sitting in! Mt. Baker received 40 inches of new snow in the past 3 days, much more than anticipated, and forecasts look great for more snow this week. Freezing levels are expected to drop to around 1,500 feet with possibly a foot of new snow to fall on Friday. It could be one of the best opening days in years!

We will be in full operation out of both base areas for Thursday and Friday from 9:00 - 3:30 with all chairlifts running, but will still have midweek rates in effect ($39.50 adult ticket, includes tax!) Due to the huge amount of snow we've received in the last 24 hours, there will most likely be a delayed opening on Pan Dome Thursday to allow significant avalanche control work to be done.

DEEP SNOW WARNING:
Mt. Baker has received over 80 inches of snow in 6 days, so we are issuing a deep snow and tree well alert. RIDE WITH A PARTNER and be aware that the snow is very soft and very deep off the groomed runs. For more information on deep snow and tree well safety, go to: treewelldeepsnowsafety.com.
