Here Is The Resort Release:

Mt. Baker is planning on opening Thursday November 19th!  With 15 inches of new snow last night we currently have 36 inches of base at Heather Meadows and 60 inches of snow on top of Pan Dome!  

It’s going to take us a couple of days to get prepared – we’ll be out on the mountain with snowcats and snowmobiles Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday grooming, setting up rope lines and infrastructure and getting everything ready for Thursday.  There will also be heavy equipment in the parking lots and roads as we prepare.  Please give our crew and equipment LOTS of space for your safety and ours.
