Mount Baker // Skiing the Coleman Deming Route in Winter

Mount Baker is an awesome mountain. The peak is that much more mind blowing when you can scale its heights on a sunny no wind day. You can see a lot of iconic landmarks from the summit of Baker. Glacier peak, Rainier, and Olympic National Park. If, and that’s a big if, you can catch it on a good day like we did. On this episode we climb and ski Mount Baker via the Coleman Deming route. Skiing from the summit to the car provides nearly 8,000 ft of descent. Snow conditions ranged from ice to 6 inches of light powder. Definitely a radical day with a little of everything.

Great video, as always. I really appreciate the extra details you include. The pre-morning hotel, mcd being closed, trailhead prep, skin track skiing, etc. That stuff is rarely shown on other ski videos - they just focus on the summit and beautiful downhill turns. I watch for all the little non-beautiful turn parts. Keep up the good work - and keep filming the non-sexy parts of your adventures.

Honestly..places like Mt. Baker just make me so happy to live here in Washington. I live in Seattle and from our unit, we can step out onto the patio and see the Olympic Mountains and Cascades. We get the clearest view of Mt. Rainier daily and to me? Its perfection. I love this state.

Climbed Baker via Roman Wall in 1972 and spent the night on the summit in order to see the sunrise on the summer solstice. We woke up before sunrise and sat there peering east to see the first rays come over the horizon. Finally figured out that we were looking toward the northwest and the sun was already over the horizon. The bottle of excellent scotch we had carried to the summit probably was the cause of our disorientation. Never the less - felt good about the climb and being 25-years old and "tough" we were proudly starting down the wall when two "OLD GUYS" (maybe 50?) came over the top headed up and carrying skis. They had driven down from Vancouver BC that morning, hiked to the summit and then were going to ski back down. No big deal - they had lost count of how many times they had done that. love your channel - lived and climbed everything, year round, with B'ham as our base 1970 - 1980.
