The striking glaciated stratovolcano of Mount Baker rises from the chain of Cascade mountains in the US state of Washington.
Close to the bustling city of Seattle, the long and wild descents on Mount Baker feature ski descents of over 2,000 meters above sea level.
Wild Washington is home to some of the best ski descents in the whole of North America.
One native name for the mountain is Komo Kulshan, which can roughly be translated as The White Watcher, which is said to have guarded the nearby watery network of the Salish Sea.
Extremely accessible and immensely impressive, skiers gravitate towards the wide range of slopes from challenging descents to gentle routes.
Our approach will be via Schrieber’s Meadow that flanks the southeast of Mount Baker. Here there is great space to practice glacial skiing from our base camp at around 1,800 meters above sea level.
Stunning views of the Twin Sisters Range and Mount Rainier sweep the skyline, as well as the crest of the North Cascades.

I am the founder of BC Adventure Guides, a certified Ski-Mountaineering Guide with the American Mountain Guides Association and a certified Avalanche Instructor with the American Avalanche Association dedicated to perfecting my craft. I began skiing as disco was dying at New York’s Hunter Mountain, ’The Snow Making Capital of the World’ and a summer ski trip to Mt Hood inspired me years later to move from New York City to Washington State for college and he never looked back.
I let my curiosity for steep, wild snow combine with my passion for travel, and big mountains into guiding, leading trips to Antarctica, Europe, Asia, North & South America.
In an effort to help preserve wild places, I completed my MBA in sustainable business from BGI and started my own company, Back Country Adventure Guides. I now share my passion for snow with my daughter between completing my ‘honey do list’ and enjoying the greatest touring on Earth at Snoqualmie Pass.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
