Please note there is EARLY SEASON SNOW COVERAGE and you need to ski and ride with extra caution because there are sudden terrain changes and features, rocks, sticks, stumps, sudden drop-offs and patches of thin coverage around the ski area. The bottom of Chair 5 area has very low snow conditions so go slow and use extra caution in that area.
The steeps will be CLOSED and closed areas will be strongly enforced with fines per RCW 79a.45.070.– Mt. Baker ski area
