Happy holidays James. Thanks for keeping the snow stoke alive. We're having a brutal summer so far here in my part of Oz so these vids are keeping me sane.
Happy Holidays Mark! Really appreciate that. Will add it to the US lift ticket fund. So happy I can help keep ya sane through the summer :). See ya in the next one :)
This is awesome. Love Baker. When I started going there back in the early 90s there were T-bars and a very sketchy 2 chair with no bar, and they'd let you sleep in the lodge cafeteria in your sleeping bag so you could do multi-day trips in comfort, instead of having to sleep in your car in the parking lot. Love Baker. 94 through 99 saw some absolutely epic seasons at Whistler, Red, Whitewater, Baker, etc. Love the OG jacket, woot woot! Been around for a while. My car bin of old clothes, helmets, goggles, gloves, etc have saved me and friends and randoms so many times over the decades. Turned so many days, that forgotten things or wetted-out clothes could have ruined, into good times for all.
@conradcoolerfiend Sadly, sleeping in the lodge in your sleeping bag was a pretty common thing thought the Washington State and Southern BC region back in the 80s and 90s when the hills were still Mom and Pop owned. You could sleep in the lodge at Red Mountain in Rossland too back then.
Wow, Mt. Baker. I started skiing there in the late 60's as a kid. Rented skis at Yeagers in Bellingham and went sking in our jeans. Couldn't afford any extras. We just wanted to go skiing. Brings back so many memories. We didn't have the equipment like they have now.
When I lived in Aldergrove in the 70s, I far preferred skiing Baker to Whistler. Whenever I think of Baker, I think about that snowboarder who got caught in the tree well a couple of years ago, who got saved by a skier who just happened to see the base of his board.
Yooo, I'm working at Baker this season, in food service in the lodges. Got a ton of good pow the last couple days over the holidays, good stuff! It's so odd seeing someone explore the mountain on RUclips and actually be familiar with where you're at!
Baker hot pow special! Love that place. Pow days are obviously awesome there, but also highly recommend trying to get back on a warm clear day in the spring, the views of Shuksan and Baker are unreal. Possibly the prettiest ski area I’ve ever been to when it’s clear.
Have been watching your videos for three years. And welcome to my home resort!!! I was skiing on Baker on the 24th and 26th. Damn, missed the chance to say hello!
Great All Mountain Video! All weather conditions! Makes the snow and surf the best! Once the oil skin jackets were the rage to keep one dry. But man, once froze up you would fight to flex. I know from cool wet experience. Baker and Baldy are fun hills with the right conditions. Great laps!
Glas you finally made it to Baker. It was my home hill from '84 to '04.and your vid brought back great memories. One thing about Baker - if the cliffs don't kill you the tree wells will. Stay safe
Long time Subscriber. Dude - Wish I had known you were there yesterday. I was there too and would have chugged a bottle of hot sauce with you. Great Video. Hope you kept your truck on the road driving off the mountain. Looked like a few folks went off-roading. (Hope everyone was safe and got their rides back on the road without too much drama.) I'll be looking for you on your return visit, and keep the pointy ends fast and facing forward!
hell yea bro. Now you've laid eyes on it. the terrain, the snowdepth! I definitely keep an eye on the forecast temp at baker, low elevation and all that. But looks like you also hit that sweet sweet no line goodness!
Insta360 X4 arrived today. Had a little play, can’t wait to use it properly Thanks for the discount/ free snow bundle - and since I’ve mentioned it I can’t believe how much stuff you get in the box, I thought it would be one helmet mount or something Nice one
That was a fun one, awesome locals! BTW... it's all old school lift tickets where I am. so I put key rings on my jackets so I spin the ticket off one coat and spin it onto the other 😎
Love that place when the snow is good, it dumps, the terrain is terrific, and if you find a local to guide you, there is a LOT of chair accessible backcountry terrain. Haven’t been for a few years, it is a 6 hour drive to wherever in glacier we book to stay overnight. Looks like you got a taste of high quality cascade cement 😅.
Yo we met at the Excel lift on Blackcomb Opening Day, was the guy in the turquoise jacket to your right haha. Merry Christmas! I have an epic pass but I venture out to Baker 2-3 times a year... Love supporting them (even with this damn exchange rate lol) as they haven't been gobbled up by a megacorp yet. The mountain is just awesome on a pow day and there's also a lot of backcountry to explore. I actually just got back from there today after they got a fresh foot of snow with constant refills throughout the day.
damn, was it busy , im thinking about heading there tomorrow, im also epic pass holder, but love me same baker on deep pow day once or twice a year ( usually i go late in season, but this season seems to be different )
The last couple times I was there the biggest Chair was entitled "Sticky Wicket"; I don't know what they call it now. I've also been told that due to precipitation and wind patterns, there is a counter clockwise wind drift. That wind drift is the same that brings record breaking amounts of snow to Paradise at Mt. Rainer as it does to Mt. Baker ski resort. That wind and snow already hit Paradise but had more left in the tank to dump on Mt. Baker ski resort about 200Km north of Paradise. Thanks for posting this excellent video!
fun! love your videos of all the BC resorts very helpful. Cool to see you hit some US spots. Someone get this man to Little Cottonwood canyon after a dump.
Lol reminds me of a similar storm day i did at red heather a couple weekends ago. So many people were skiing down as we came up, we couldn't figure out why. Then we tried skiing and realised we couldn't see a damn thing and were getting absolutely drenched 😂 Trees might help with light-related vis but they won't fix goggles that are absolutely coated and fogged 😅
Made my nieces ski down 3ft of powder off trail. Skied into a bowl an hiked back up to a side trail. Always wear the rain proof gear in nw. Never forget the rain vest at crystal. Wheather reports only now or nogo.
Been here since the OG fit. Your first upload to pop onto my feed was when you skied Lone Pine on Blackcomb. I looked back just now but couldn't find the video.
Welcome to Washington!!! You should check out Steven’s next ;) (my home mountain… I could also drive to Baker but I’m only an intermediate skier so there isn’t very much good terrain for me there :() Stevens also has a two-way lift! The terrain isn’t *quite* as gnarly, but there is still plenty of good stuff on Double Diamond/Southern Cross and 7th Heaven.
Never been to Baker. Pretty interesting looking old school mountain, I love those. To me they have some kind of magic and feeling you just can't get at fancier areas. Don't get me wrong I like those too but it's just not the same thing. Baker looks like it has some pretty gnarly terrain to explore in better conditions and I bet Baker is just spectacular on a post dump blue sky day, you can just feel it. Welcome to the states buddy I hope you have a fantastic visit full of no lines pow and blue skies!
Couldn't agree more about the old school mountain magic Andy. It just feels like how skiing should be. Can't wait to get back and explore the terrain more.
1:47 'faily affordable' at $100?! I was just skiing in Chamonix last week for like 60 euros a day, which gave me access to multiple different areas in the valley! snow looks gorgeous though! and nice you made some ski buddies near instantly
I don't know where you are today James but the peak the Creekside was absolutely insane deep pow today. I don't even know where we were off to some side trails with a local guy we know here.
Going to Baker for a week for my big trip this year in like a month. Which chair are you on at 19:16? The stuff to the right is the kind of stuff I'm going there for. Trying to get a game plan going. Your video is a sign from the ski gods that I must go.
LETS GO he actually came here! Also keep in mind Baker usually has about twice the snow base in the core season. And let me know when you're coming back here, I can show you around a lot of the terrain.
@riseandalpine nice, I'm open most weekends for the rest of the season, I would love to get to ski with you. Also I have some friends who run a hot sauce company if you want to try it.
It's probably too late for me to put this in comments, but I have great advice about gloves for wet weather: Forget about Goretex gloves. From Dave Searle's channel I learned what ice climbers use: "rubber" Japanese fishing gloves (actually polyurethane), in particular Showa's Model 282 Temres gloves. They are waterproof and breathable and, because their outer surface is polyurethane, they never wet out. And about Helly Hansen's Lifa Infinity Pro: I've owned one of their jackets with this material, and in spite of their claims that it never needs DWR treatment, I found it benefited greatly from Nikwax. It will probably still eventually wet out, but it will take much longer.
The entire ski area runs on diesel fuel, some lifts are powered by electricity generated from diesel and a few far ones are powered by diesel engines directly. The raven lodge gives me the classic ski lodge feeling. Love Baker. 😊
That was really cool to hook up with locals right off the bat, looks like a place with a few wrong turns you could get into the shit pretty easy with no way out... getting cliffed out sucks especially when ya can't see where in the f**k your at and am I going from bad to worse...
Great to see the return of the OG Jacket!! If you don't mind a business plug. Go see my friend Erin at the Control Room at the base of Blackcomb to help with your toe pain.
Glad you know the OG jacket. Believe it or not Erin fitted me a while back for some old boots, great guy and a talented fitter. I got Dillon from North Shore Ski and Board taking care of my boots now. Closer to home and he's got em' absolutely dialed for me.
Cool!! Unfortunately for me Erin seems to be the only person who has figured out how my foot should fit in a boot so every couple of years I drive to Whistler to get them fit.
Do you have any idea how long it took me to get use to looking for your new all grey/neon hood brim suit vs. the old jacket? Now I need to be keeping an eye out for either set?!?! Not enough brain power for that. Ever time I’m in the lines at WB I’m looking for hot sauce!
Need a Rise & Alpine US tour 🔥

@@Jaythree98man it’s been hovering around 1.35 for the past 3 years, it’s not thaaaat much brutally higher right now. 1.4 just looks crazy

whatttt they sounded like absolute legends back then! I guess thats where the precedent of the parking lot camping comes from.

@@recklesstoboggan wow!! damn megacorporations!!!
Sleeping in the lodge?! It’s a budget ski trip dream!
I believe 98 was when they broke the record for snow correct? I’ve heard stories of them recruiting help to help dig out the lifts.

Dude I always think about that video as well. Not a place to ride alone with a snow pack like that.
@@riseandalpine That video makes me appreciate bright colored skis and ski clothes. I went to mostly red Spyder gear for visibility.
Classic Baker day. Soaked to the bone but still smiling at the end of the day!
Nothing but smiles! Love this place.
I always tell people, "there's never a bad day at Baker". I love that terrain!
I have a mate that says the same thing 😅
hehe goes for me cause i only go after a dump!
Couldn't agree more. Baker is sick!
There’s definitely bad days at baker lol. That place turns to chunder more than anywhere I’ve ever ridden. But when she’s firin it’s awesome.
@@PinkFZeppelin Haha fair, but you never have crowded lift lines at least! At least in my experience...
Truly a treat when you get a Rise and yard sale! 😂
Rise & Flat Landing
Yooo, I'm working at Baker this season, in food service in the lodges. Got a ton of good pow the last couple days over the holidays, good stuff! It's so odd seeing someone explore the mountain on RUclips and actually be familiar with where you're at!
Glad it's been snow up there the past few days. Sick spot to be working dude. Stoked to get back out there.
Rise and Alpine finds the one Dude at Mount Baker with Teeth missing....classic!
Looked like a fellow canuck!
Baker hot pow special! Love that place. Pow days are obviously awesome there, but also highly recommend trying to get back on a warm clear day in the spring, the views of Shuksan and Baker are unreal. Possibly the prettiest ski area I’ve ever been to when it’s clear.

I salute you my brother!
Glas you finally made it to Baker. It was my home hill from '84 to '04.and your vid brought back great memories. One thing about Baker - if the cliffs don't kill you the tree wells will. Stay safe
What a place to call home. That's great advice. Does not seem like a safe place to ride alone. Not with snow that deep!
Looks amazing!!
I now have a new place in my where to ski list.
CANT BELIEVE YOUR IN AMERICA!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My eyes are always going to be lurking the Baker temps now. What a spot!
Insta360 X4 arrived today.
Had a little play, can’t wait to use it properly
Thanks for the discount/ free snow bundle - and since I’ve mentioned it I can’t believe how much stuff you get in the box, I thought it would be one helmet mount or something
Nice one
That was a fun one, awesome locals! BTW... it's all old school lift tickets where I am. so I put key rings on my jackets so I spin the ticket off one coat and spin it onto the other 😎
Great tip. Cutting it off was impractical hahaha
my whole school in vancouver is subscribed to you :)))
You’re kidding 😂. That is absolutely epic.
Mt. Baker has been a family favorite. As someone who lives in Van, making the trip is very much worth it. Psyched you were able to make it.
Thanks Lucas. I bet vanning in the parking lot there is the absolute best.
Yes James so happy you finally made it down for some US shredding! Hope you come down for more this season!
A tour is the plan once al the snow bases fill in
Those guys were some great tour guides. God bless Murica.
Such good dudes to hang with!
Been wanting to go here for a long time! Awesome vid!
Totally worth checking out!

Need to get back for a colder day. The Cascade Cement is absolutely wild. Loved experiencing it. My hamstrings were cooked.
happy holidays and stoked you had a good time at Baker! if you're doing WA again you've gotta try Crystal on a weekday for some slackcountry
Thanks Stephen! Would love to check out Crystal!
Like someone else said, gotta hike out and ride the Shuksan arm. The Bagley lakes offers some of the easiest to access, quality backcountry around.
So game for that. Sounds epic.
Love
It! I had the same experience there one day rain down low and the next morning 2’ of fresh.. great mountain !
Soo good! Stoked you've experienced it too.

I remember meeting ya homie! It's sick you always roll through a few times a season. I'm gonna keep tabs on the forecast and 100% go back.
@@saboSK was busy in the morning but it died down as the day went on. Another 6" fell throughout the day with nobody on the hill past lunch basically

Believe it or not he’s a real estate agent. Great dude!
Ya Baker is fun. I've been going to Baker, Stevens, Snoqualmie, and Crystal since the 90's it's great!
Can’t wait to check out the other PNW gems
Awesome vid you should do a vid in Colorado maybe vail and there back bowls or corbets cular in Jackson that would be sick to see.
Would love to try all of those
Hell yeah brother!!! MUUURRIICAAA
Happy the f1shifty made it!
Can’t forget the OG orange
Old jacket. F1shifty is breathing. Life is good!
Outstanding
I love this guy's videos.
Thanks dude
Excellent production. You gotta do a USA tour!
I'm hoping to pull it off
@ karens in the comments 🤣 Im dead. Cheers from Antarctica bud.

Insane you saw my first ever ski video. Thanks for sticking it out with me :)
as soon as I saw you I knew you were my favorite RUclipsr
Dude! that is my home mountain. There is some amazing side country worth checking out on our your need visit.
So keen to explore the baker backcountry next time.
just clicked on the like button. Nice video man keep on goin! Lots of snow, much more then europe.
Thanks so much!
Now I have to visit Baker this season! Come down to Mt Hood sometime, would be happy to show you around
100% you gotta visit. Would love a guide around Hood if I make it there!
Love the OG-Suit. Wear it once in a while. Its still good to go. 🙂
Love that you remember it! Still duct tape and riding good!
Lol reminds me of a similar storm day i did at red heather a couple weekends ago. So many people were skiing down as we came up, we couldn't figure out why.
Then we tried skiing and realised we couldn't see a damn thing and were getting absolutely drenched 😂 Trees might help with light-related vis but they won't fix goggles that are absolutely coated and fogged 😅
I feel that :). I never take the people leaving as a sign either. Always gotta learn the hard way hahaha
Love the OG jacket, been here since all the way back in Nov ‘23 lol More US stops please!
No way dude! Thanks for being here so long. Hopefully the big US trip will come to life in FEB
Made my nieces ski down
3ft of powder off trail. Skied into a bowl an hiked back up to a side trail. Always wear the rain proof gear in nw. Never forget the rain vest at crystal. Wheather reports only now or nogo.
“This place is just an imaginary mountain” was so good over all.
I know eh!
Been here since the OG fit. Your first upload to pop onto my feed was when you skied Lone Pine on Blackcomb. I looked back just now but couldn't find the video.
Legendary dude. Thanks for being in for the long haul.

Welcome to Washington!!! You should check out Steven’s next ;) (my home mountain… I could also drive to Baker but I’m only an intermediate skier so there isn’t very much good terrain for me there :()
Stevens also has a two-way lift! The terrain isn’t *quite* as gnarly, but there is still plenty of good stuff on Double Diamond/Southern Cross and 7th Heaven.
Stevens has a 7th heaven too?
@ it does haha! It’s a good ole fixed-grip two-seater that basically goes up the side of a cliff. (It’s actually the steepest lift in North America!)
My beautiful home❤ Glad she treated you well! Make sure to stay buddied up if returning on a nuker pow day! 😁
Absolutely a place to always have a buddy. Wild amounts of snow.
Sick video so stoked you came down to try baker!
Can't wait to come back
@ There is plenty more sick terrain to explore that is fun and gnarly. Would love to show some spots
Oh yeah I actually miss that old jacket. I first meet you with that. Amazing.

Never dude. Baker is now the only spot in the US I've skied other than Whiteface.
Never been to Baker. Pretty interesting looking old school mountain, I love those. To me they have some kind of magic and feeling you just can't get at fancier areas. Don't get me wrong I like those too but it's just not the same thing.

the terrain is sick, and no lines on weekdays at all. super agree on the old school magic thing. slow diesel lifts, no safety bars, minimal grooming,
Couldn't agree more about the old school mountain magic Andy. It just feels like how skiing should be. Can't wait to get back and explore the terrain more.

snow looks gorgeous though! and nice you made some ski buddies near instantly
Sad thing is other mountains are like $250+ like Whistler
Baker's the bomb diggity.
Dude... What a place.
I don't know where you are today James but the peak the Creekside was absolutely insane deep pow today. I don't even know where we were off to some side trails with a local guy we know here.
Sickk!!! Glad you got in on it.
love baker looked wet and heavy out there
It was proper potatoes but I loved it
Going to Baker for a week for my big trip this year in like a month. Which chair are you on at 19:16? The stuff to the right is the kind of stuff I'm going there for. Trying to get a game plan going. Your video is a sign from the ski gods that I must go.
That is chair 6.
Dude. You're gonna lose it when you see the terrain in person. Unlimited natural features. It is like nothing I've ever seen.
Round two at Baker with the chest mount and music and rainy weather made you all-weather skier mashed potatoes nuking all in a days work !
Had to go for Rd two
LETS GO he actually came here! Also keep in mind Baker usually has about twice the snow base in the core season. And let me know when you're coming back here, I can show you around a lot of the terrain.
That would be sick. Would love to come back when it's primo!

The entire ski area runs on diesel fuel, some lifts are powered by electricity generated from diesel and a few far ones are powered by diesel engines directly. The raven lodge gives me the classic ski lodge feeling. Love Baker. 😊
So sick eh!
Sick video stop by glacier pub there a cool burger joint. I live in Abbotsford and ski Mt. Baker for 3 years.
Next time I'll grab a burg there
Man that looked fun!
Super fun!
Ay Mt Baldy is my main mountain I wasnt expecting the shoutout
Love that spot. I’m talking about Baldy in Oliver
Bro you comming down to Alpental in Seattel?
Hopefully later this season
That was really cool to hook up with locals right off the bat, looks like a place with a few wrong turns you could get into the shit pretty easy with no way out... getting cliffed out sucks especially when ya can't see where in the f**k your at and am I going from bad to worse...

Cool!! Unfortunately for me Erin seems to be the only person who has figured out how my foot should fit in a boot so every couple of years I drive to Whistler to get them fit.
Those disposable ponchos would be good on a day like this. I've seen people wear them in the east, before.
No joke I had one in my truck and didn't think about this until reading this comment
Seen the boarders wear garbage bags occasionally in the wet
Come to Mt Bachelor in Bend, Oregon 😎 big storm system in the PNW currently!
Really want to try Bachelor!
Do you have any idea how long it took me to get use to looking for your new all grey/neon hood brim suit vs. the old jacket? Now I need to be keeping an eye out for either set?!?! Not enough brain power for that. Ever time I’m in the lines at WB I’m looking for hot sauce!
You’re gonna be real upset if I mix in more 😂
@ if you add any more you’re gonna have to start the day with a guess my outfit reel, then we can all comment when we see you.
Any Utah / Altabird plans?
