^hmm... someone doesnt know what theyre talking about...


the snow is sick, and there is alot of it. you get your sunny days, but yes, it is overcast alot.

there isnt much of a park until spring, when they push all the jumps big and make all the rails sick... its a lot of fun... make the move

shitload of snow usually, cool mountain, ive never been in the BC, but its world famous so it must kick some ass. I wouldnt live in Baker for the season though, either move to Seattle or just come up to Whistler and meet some real aussies.

well they have the record for most snowfall, the terrains pretty good, steep areas and stuff, you go there to ski though, not to ride park

zach said it all...baker is just sick. You don't need park with a backcountry like that.

If Mt Baker was a person, it would be Jenna Jameson, cause it sucks a lot of dick.

fuck all of you im looking forward toa killer season on baker next year.... already looking around for houses in glacier for the season, you don't need a park with the BC baker offers just make your own if you that concerned. and listen to zach D and others who have been locals when it comes to talking about the mt not these dumb asses who maybe spent a few days on it.

if youre coming all the way from nz to the pnw for sick park you might want to rethink your move, chief.




All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine.

ya the pnw can be a hit or a miss. sometimes the snow is incredible, then the next day it will rain. plus, sometimes the whole season turns into a crapshoot. it can be good, but if i were to move all the way over here I would recommend somewhere that has more consistent snow conditions. and if you're just coming for the park, stick to the larger resorts.

baker is not for the weak at heart.
but there's a reason snowboarding names it 'mecca.'

this is where the pennies go.

UTAHHHHHHHHHHHHH bitches. you dont want to bbe near the coast. its not called coastal crud for the fun of it. im sure they get their dry days too but most of the snow is gross. but uhh yea the snowpark is the most stable because of the wetness too.

There is a lot of fucking idiots posting in this thread.

Baker, yeah we get themost snow in the world, so its the shit if you like big mtn riding, but we dont get much sun, and the aprk is only good if it hasnt snowed for a few says wich is rearly, but when it is good it is a very good park. Dont bother moving here if you dont own at least 2 pairs of fat skis, and you are better off leaving your jib sticks at home.

Check my gallery out on the Baker site if you want ot see what it is like on a shity year. (note this was the worst season ever on record)
