I have skied Baker for about the last 50 years. I'm 71 years old and I do remember back in the day having my ID checked in order to access the bar. Baker is large enough to offer excellent facilities yet small enough to offer good old American hospitality to y'all including us Canadian guests. The property has very good lifts leading to a number of excellent runs. Baker has a good choice of very good dining facilities. Past principal operator Duncan Howett and now his family deserve a huge kudos for bringing a lot of joy to skiers and boarders who come from the Pacific North West, Canada and other parts of the world. Baker is the place you want to be this winter.

I have skied at Baker many times over many seasons in all conditions and I don't understand why I keep coming back. The terrain is mild and boring, there is never any good snow, only warm slush and its always completely tracked out after one run so you only have moguls. There's also a complete lack of groomed runs, its mostly crappy off piste. The employees are all terrible, they are rude and don't want to deal with you, the lifties suck and they hardly do their job. So every time that you get on the chair you are met with a hard whack on the back of your legs. The food is terrible and ridiculously expensive. I don't need to spend my kids college fund for a crappy burger. The only lodging there are rental houses that are super expensive and booked out months in advance and even then the closest are still a hour away from the mountain. There is no food or gas, the two restaurants there are in town are almost always closed and the nearest gas station is over an hour from the mountain. So make sure you don't run out gas. Even the ski patrol on the mountain sucks. I broke my collarbone at the mountain last season and they took over an hour to get to me and as they were transporting me they ended up injuring my collarbone more which put me off the slopes for 3 months. Terrible mountain, it is a terrible experience every single time.

Please don't come here. Nah, just kidding! Every time I drive up highway 542 into the upper parking lot, I feel like I'm traveling back in time. Back before everything sucked. My only real gripe about this place is the lack of any sort of park. Otherwise, it's pretty much exactly what I dream about riding. Lots of snow, drops and short hikes. No hotels or stores. If you are planning a visit, I must warn you it may be a very rainy / icy / horrible experience and you might end up regretting the long drive. If you are lucky, it could end up being the greatest session of your life.

The amount of hater-ade that flow from some of these reviews is incredible. This place is probably not for you, haters. This is the Mecca of snowboarding. You don't come to Mt. Baker because of its lodges, its food, its groomers, etc. You come to Mt. Baker because it's legendary. It's one of the last true locally owned mountains in the west. It's no secret that the PNW has wildly variable weather (so stop whining). Baker sits in the convergence zone, so you may get something like 23 inches overnight, or you may get a little bit of rain, but at the end of the year, you've gotten the most snow out of any resort in the lower 48. Facts.
Yeah, there is no cell service and the winding highway can be treacherous in the stormy weather. Don't bring your 2-wheel drive BMW up, you will have trouble. This is a mountain, in the wild. There are no hotels but you can overnight camp in the lot for a small fee, because, again, this is the Mecca, not a resort. You come here if you're a hardcore skier or snowboarder and you want to experience the legend. You want to ride snow deep enough to swallow you whole, near tree wells that'll bury you for good, by cliffs that'll chew you up like a blender dropped from a high rise and you shred it all within the glacier-faced glare of Mt. Shuksan that's quietly towering over you.
Read these reviews, this mountain is probably not for you, snowflake (pun intended!). There are plenty of overly crowded Vail & Ikon corporate mountains in Washington state that'll probably be more your speed.

If you show up to this place, it could be highly disappointing or...what dreams are made of. The inbounds has only about 1500ft of vertical. If you don't know the place or go with a knowledgable local, don't bother traveling here. The inbounds is tiny. Short hikes and slack-country is the name of the game here. The weather and snow are extremely variable, but when it dumps, it dumps. I've experienced mashed potatoes, but I've also surfed 3+ feet of blower pow riding my way to faceshot heaven. These negative reviews below may be merited for their limited experiences here, but they just don't know the possibilities. The legend is real (especially for locals riding mid-week after a storm).

Mt. Baker has some excellent terrain but it can be greatly affected by constantly changing weather patterns. You'll want to prepare accordingly. I came up on a whim but once there, I decided to stay for a few days. I quickly discovered that there aren't any hotels. One of the locals told me about Mt. Baker Lodging (mtbakerlodging dot com). I went to their office and rented a very nice cabin at a good price for my girlfriend and myself. It even had a private hot tub! If you're planning on coming to Mt. Baker for a weekend, I would highly recommend these guys. They can be reached at 1-800-709-7669.

People complaining about slow chairs and crowded runs realize faster chairs would make more crowded runs? Anyway, the management is amazing and that's one reason Baker has gotten so crowded unfortunately. Everyone to the north and south has figured it out and now it's just slammed and over-capacity for the available terrain.
