New Summit Uphill Policy in effect now

It's $5 people. Not a big deal. I'm just glad they have a system worked out. Baker is "no touring" ever.

I guess since it is private land, they can make whatever rules they want.

Is Mt Baker Ski Area on private land? 

Mission Ridge policy says you have to be back in the base area by 7am

Note also the private land surrounding Beaver Lake (NW of the old Ski Acres plot). I'm guessing that may be a remnant of the old Seattle Ski Club ski jump hill from the 1930s.

Cool. History, written in the landscape.
Have you seen this plan of the ski jump at Summit West?
 

 

It doesn't really matter or not whether a ski area is on public or private land. The ski areas have a contract with the forest service which allows them to decide the rules there. Mt Baker doesn't like ski tourists, so it chooses to ban them (after years of "no official policy"). Not much you can do about it except try and not piss them off and get banned from the area & even the parking lots (yep, they can do and have done this).
