Mt Baker Ski Area is only 20 minutes away |
• Mt. Baker Ski Area holds the world record for snowfall in the winter of 1998-1999 with 1,140 inches. We also have the most average annual snowfall of any ski area in North America, with 647 inches of average annual snowfall.
• Baker was one of the first ski areas in North America (or the world for that matter) to “allow” snowboarding unrestricted and is the home of many world class snowboarders.

Nooksack River
The jewel of the North Cascades - the North Fork of the Nooksack. This river is born at the base of the Nooksack Glacier, high on Mt. Shuksan. After mixing with many side creeks and tumbling over Nooksack Falls, this river's glacial silt laden water enters the upper gorge of the Nooksack. Sightings of wildlife such as eagles, deer, and otter are a common occurrence.
