How late does Mt Baker normally stay open? Is it still open in April? If so, what are conditions like there then? I may be there on a trip in early April next year and wanted to know if it would be worth bringing my skis.
Yeah, I didn't say specifically. Seattle. Stevens and Crystal are probably better choices for convenience sake.When you say “I will be there on a trip”, will you be specifically in the Bellingham area, or the Seattle area in general? If the former, Whistler/Blackcomb may be a better bet, and the latter, Crystal. Both have a decent amount of terrain at higher elevations than Baker and better snow preservation at that time of the year.
That said, in early April you could have awesome conditions at any of the PNW areas, Baker included. I’ve skied Stevens on the last day of season, April 20-something, when it’s snowing decent quality snow, another year it was 70 degrees and sunny.
