Glacier Travel is all about Crevasse Avoidance. This is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult. But when a crevasse and snowbridge are obvious go and investigate a little. A quick look at this crevasse showed the existing track was fairly supported underneath. Although trending a little climbers right would have ensured no surprises.

Go take a look, get some info, and modify the existing track to avoid having to arrest a crevasse fall. Minimize your “it’ll be fine” risk management strategy and figure out if the risk you’re managing with matches your ability to perform an intervention.

It’s late season on the glaciers and snow ridges are harder to see since the surface is likely planar and not sagging. A classic clue. Be diligent and enjoy the rest of the late summer alpine season

We’ve been hearing it, the climate forecast is confident, now what? Just sit back wait and find out?

We are busy investing in the future, arranging logistics, confirming reservations, pinpointing zones, lining out schedules all so we can show up, shred, and make ourselves content knowing we invested in our future happiness.

Have you made that investment yet?

Come see for yourself, from the summit to the sea

Mount Baker is a scant 45 miles from tidewater sea of the Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. Looking off further the Straight of Juan de Fuca transports pods of Killer Whales out to the Pacific. While the Straight of Georgia funnels cold arctic air in winter , straight into the massive vertical relief of Kulshan.

Shooting up over 10,000 vertical feet the views over the fertile flood plains of the Skagit and Fraser River Deltas that provide abundant local farm grown fruits and vegetables and some of the most diverse salmon species on the west coast. Beyond that the stunning Olympic Peninsula, Mount Olympus, Mt Rainier, and Dakobed (Glacier Peak) rise above the lower ranges.

Of course you must come see for yourself, but until then welcome to our little slice of heaven that we share with our awesome guests.

Hope everyone has been enjoying our exceptional summer so far. Its been warm and smokey at times, but grateful for the r...

Summer Ice Climbing: Heat Wave Edition

Located here at the base of the 2nd most glaciated mountain in the lower 48, Mt Baker, we have this incredibly unique experience right here in Glacier WA.

In a typical year a 2 hour hike puts you right on the ice ready to climb for the day. Located at 5,000’ this area stays cooler but isn’t brutally alpine when the weather turns for the worst.

Conditions and access change rapidly on the lower glacier and professional risk management and terrain navigation are invaluable as climate change countries to accelerate ice mass loss in this zone.
