Best Snow in the West — Right Outside Your Door
Mt. Baker is having one of its finest seasons on record, with nearly 8 feet of base and more on the way. If you`ve been waiting for the right window to ski or snowboard the Pacific Northwest`s most legendary mountain, this is it. Baker Bliss Cabin puts you 25 minutes from the lifts — close enough for early starts, far enough from the crowds to feel like a retreat.
Come back to a hot tub under the trees, a propane fireplace, and a cabin that`s ready for you after a long day on the mountain.
>Six Reasons to Stay at Baker Bliss This Spring:
**Best snow in the west:** Mt. Baker holds the world record for seasonal snowfall and this year is living up to its reputation. Ski, snowboard, or snowshoe while the snow lasts.
**Hot Tub Hideaway:** Soak under the trees after a day on the mountain — quiet, steamy, and exactly what your legs need.
**Mountain Comfort, Modern Style:** King primary suite, queen beds upstairs, cozy living spaces, and quality finishes throughout.
**Pure Mountain Water:** Whole-home water filter, so every tap gives you clean, fresh water — whether you`re filling the kettle or drawing a bath.
**Reliable Wi-Fi & Generator:** Stay connected and comfortable, even during mountain weather or power outages.
**Pet-Friendly & Fenced Yard:** Bring the dogs. Beds, bowls, and a toy or two are waiting.
>Spring at Baker Bliss
Late winter and early spring is a quiet sweet spot in the Mt. Baker corridor. The mountain is still running strong, the highway is spectacular, and the trails are starting to open up below the snowline. Days are getting longer, and the crowds haven`t arrived yet.
Ski or ride Mt. Baker in the morning. Stop in Glacier for coffee and a pastry at Wake `n Bakery on the way back. Let the afternoon stretch out by the fire or in the hot tub. That`s a good day up here.
As spring deepens, the Nooksack River picks up, wildflowers appear on lower trails, and Nooksack Falls puts on a show worth the short drive. Horseshoe Bend, Heliotrope Ridge, and the Skyline Divide trails open up progressively through the season — each one worth planning around.
>Inside the Cabin:
— Bright, open living room with propane fireplace, smart TV, and windows that bring the outdoors in
— Fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops, modern appliances, and everything you need for hearty meals or slow mornings
— Main floor king suite with private ensuite — tub, shower, and granite countertops
— Upstairs queen room with two beds and a second full bathroom — ideal for families or two couples traveling together
>Explore the Area:
— Ski or snowboard at Mt. Baker — 25 minutes away, world-record snowfall, still going strong
— Snowshoe or hike Horseshoe Bend, Salmon Ridge Sno-Park, and trails along the Nooksack River
— Drive the Mt. Baker Scenic Byway — especially striking after a fresh snowfall
— Stop in Glacier for Wake `n Bakery or Chair 9 Woodstone Pizza after a day out
— Watch for Nooksack Falls at peak spring flow — a short detour, well worth it
