Mt. Baker Ski Area sits at the edge of the wilderness in the heart of the Northern Cascades of Washington State.

With steep chutes, natural half-pipes, canyons and plenty of tree skiing, Mt. Baker is not a "ski rink" it is a mountain. From I-5, take Exit 255 and follow the Mt. Baker highway (Highway 542) 56 miles to the ski area.
