Mount Baker holds the World Record Snowfall of 95 feet, set in the 1998-1999 winter. I remember they had to dig trenches for the ski lifts, and some lifts were closed due to the depth of snow. This was no record year, but there was still a lot of snow.
I guess there are a few different "unofficial" sledding areas. Since I hadn't been sledding at Mt Baker before, it took us a bit to figure out where to go. You just have to follow the one-way around to the end, and hop over the snow birm. The Highwood Lake basin creates an awesome little bowl for sledding. The slopes range from mild to wild. We picked a pretty mellow spot and made a perfect day of it.

Very happy with the new Mountain Boy Slalom sleds!
Broke out the candle wax. Both the tube and slalom sled were much faster after a little wax.
