The Mount Baker backcountry is world-renowned for the variety of terrain and the utterly stunning beauty. Snowshoeing is the perfect way for beginner-level winter wilderness travelers to access some of the wildest and scenic backcountry in the United States.
We offer snowshoe trips to the Mount Baker backcountry throughout the winter season. For the public group trips, we will meet at the upper Heather Meadows parking lot at the Mt. Baker Ski Area.
Private programs can either meet up at the mountain, or if additional equipment is needed, we can start the morning off at our Equipment Shop in Bellingham, then make the drive up to the Ski Area.
From there, we will work our way up a groomed trail to Artist Point, where beautiful vistas are literally panoramic. From there, we will work our way out into the ungroomed winter wonderland of the Ptarmigan Ridge. Depending on time and energy, we may explore a number of different areas, including Table Mountain, the Coleman Pinnacle, or even the Herman Saddle. After taking in the backcountry, we will return to the parking lot and travel back to Bellingham, arriving at about 6:00 in the evening.
