Mt Baker area Beta was created by Perryt
Looking for any and all beta for the MT baker area for the coming weekend. Is the ski area parking lot open? can I park there? If so how far a hike to be able to ski ?

Thanks to all

Yes, you can park in the parking lot above chair one -- at the end of the road. The road beyond the ski area is not yet open, but may be openning in a few days. From where you now have to park, it is about 1/2 mile to the nearest decent skiing, which would be the Blueberry Chutes. Another 1/4 mile gets you to the Table chutes that run into Bagey Lake.

If you want to put 2 hours into getting to Ptarmigan Ridge behind Tabel Mountain, you will rewarded with much better snow, and better, more varied lines.

I've heard the road is plowed to Artist Point, but still gated. Is it worth biking from the gate to Artist Point to shorten the walk to good snow?
