Mount Baker Intermediate Skiing

Between powder days, Mount Baker grooms intermediate runs all over the Shuksan Arm portion of the resort. These runs all located off of lifts 7 and 8 offer a fun test for intermediate skiers, and a break for experts on deep leg-burning powder days. These trails are wide open and offer beautiful views of the surrounding Cascades on clear days. Other intermediate trails may be found near the backside of Panorama Dome and near lifts 3 and 4, offering intermediate widely spaced tree skiing and bailouts for those with muscle cramps.

Intermediate runs make up nearly half of the marked runs at Mount Baker, however they seem to cover less area than marked expert runs. Blue Squares tend to follow a set course, while expert runs leave more room for the imagination when it comes to choosing a line.
