Mt. Baker Ski Area recorded the world’s greatest snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches, more than 95 feet, in the late 90s. While a snowfall of that size isn’t expected this winter, the average annual snowfall is 659 inches. While Mt Baker isn’t the largest ski area in Washington, it has plenty to offer with 1,000 acres total and ten lifts, eight of which are quad chairs. Baker is two hours from Vancouver, BC and two and half hours from Seattle. That makes it an easy trip from either city. Holiday events throughout the season include pictures with Santa, a Valentine’s day celebration, and an Easter egg hunt.
