We were recently offered the opportunity to take over management of the beautiful, well known, Skyline Chalet. This luxurious newly built home is located in the heart of the Mt. Baker wilderness, and is among the closest lodging to the Mt. Baker Ski Area. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps 6. It has a private hot tub, and a community swimming pool in summer, and it’s dog friendly.
We are accepting early reservations now through the “All Properties” tab of our website. More photos, info, and a homepage listing are all coming very soon! Stay tuned-

The temps are dropping and the mountains are calling! Mt. Baker Seasons Passes went on sale yesterday September 15th 2021 for last years (2020-2021 season) pass holders, and for our Canadian neighbors who were pass holders for the 2019-2020 season.
After September 30th, the Mt. Baker Ski Area will assess how many passes were sold and how many more they can sell for the upcoming 2021-2022 season.
On Oct. 1st they will announce whether or not they can sell more passes for the season. If they can then passes will go on sale to the general public starting October 4th.
Pass sales may be capped at any point starting September 30th, so get in and get your passes early!

Bright red berries in fall at the Mt. Baker Ski Area/ Artist Point.

Fall is such a beautiful time of year up at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, and Artist Point. This photo was just taken and you can see the leaves of the blueberry bushes just started to turn red. In another few weeks the ground will be covered in amazing bright reds, yellows, and oranges of these little blueberry bushes. Fall tops all the other seasons for me as my favorite time to go explore these amazing mountains that I am so fortunate to call my home!

I never get tired of taking in the beauty of this area! I took this photo of Mt. Baker tonight on my evening walk around Mt. Baker Rim with one of my boys and our pup Layla.

Late autumn, and early winter are very beautiful times of year in Glacier. Though the leaves are mostly gone off the deciduous trees, the sun often shines, and the light snowfall on the lower elevation mountains looks like a little sugar coated top. I always look forward to the reflection of a snow capped  Church Mountain  in the Snowline Pond on a sunny early winter day. This photo was taken just outside our rental The Heron’t Nest!

The Mt. Baker Ski Area is already seeing some fluffy white snow, and we could’t be more excited! Winter’s well on it’s way here in Glacier WA! Some people have been asking us if the ski area will be open this winter, and the answer is yes! Main operations will take place this year out of the Heather Meadows upper base area instead of the White Salmon lower lodge. Some Covid restrictions will be in place, so check the ski area’s web site for more details.

The NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association) is calling for a colder wetter winter than usual this year. The snow has already started flying up at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, and it’s only October. We are hoping they are right!

Fall is my favorite time of year around Glacier.The Broad Leaf Maple trees turn their beautiful golden yellow and line the entire Mt. Baker Highway around Glacier. The Vine Maples turn all different shades of red, orange, yellow, and peach marbled together. This little tree on the Snowline Pond just outside The Heron’s Nest is always a treat in the fall too! What a marvelous time of year!
