how am i supposed to know that? When i asked the first day he told me about the shuttle and where to get on, and the next day he says i can never use it. Why not just tell me that from the beginning.

For real, how does Baker not have some type of transport system? Every other mountain, local hill or large resort, I've ever lived at has some type of public transport, even if its not free.

WTA goes everywhere else in NW Washington (and where it doesn't go it links to other transport systems), you'd think they'd have some route to there.

Why is that not a bigger deal? Well glad i found that, but my season is pretty much over since i couldn't get a ride last Sunday and didn't get hired, and my skins are fucked. Better just start hiking i guess.

But for next year when i won't have to spend all my saved money moving, ill be sure to get on that bad boy.

Had my hopes up all week for Saturday at baker. Waited all week, checked NOAA every 8 hrs. Me and some buddies even crammed into a hotel in Bellingham and got first chair Sat. Annnnnnnd it wasn't that great. Visibility was 40ish feet all day, super low light. Also, 50+mph winds. But the snow was pretty decent, probably not worth the lift ticket though.

Were you there? Could you give another report on the snow and weather? Just sharing my experience. If it was amazing I would've said so, but it had rained all Friday night instead of snow.

Was at Stevens and wished I was at Baker. Snow was lighter and although busy, less of a clusterfuck. Also, I'm mainly just saying that's how baker is alllathetimes. Seems like a perfect day to me.

That's why you look at nwac and only go when it snows. Sunday was awesome. Just so you're jealous.

What are conditions like up there recently? Me and a few buddies are planning a trip from Vancouver island next weekend and deciding between baker or maybe stevens. Long-term forecast a few days ago didn't look very hot and I read on "onthesnow" reviews that said the snow anywhere off groomers this week was absolutely awful.
