Skiing Mount Baker
A two-day ski descent of Mount Baker is one of the most classic ski mountaineering objectives in Washington State and a true Cascades highlight. Spreading the climb over two days makes the ascent far more reasonable for most skiers while preserving the full reward: a nearly 8,000-foot ski descent down massive glaciers, with expansive views that often stretch across the Puget Sound and out to the Pacific Ocean. Few trips offer the same combination of scale, accessibility, and continuous fall-line skiing, making Mount Baker an iconic objective for backcountry skiers looking to experience volcano skiing at its best.
This guided Mount Baker ski mountaineering trip allows for a relaxed, deliberate pace with time to refine glacier travel skills, uphill efficiency, and ski mountaineering techniques in real terrain. We offer two-day ski descents via both the Easton Glacier and the Coleman–Deming Route, selecting the line based on current conditions, snowpack structure, and group experience. Ideal for strong backcountry skiers ready to step into classic Cascade volcano terrain, this trip blends efficient glacier travel, thoughtful risk management, and one of the longest continuous ski descents in the region—an unforgettable way to ski one of Washington’s most iconic mountains.
