TL;DR
Mt. Baker Ski Area is doing something it has never done in its entire history this weekend — night skiing. Chair 7 and the White Salmon Handle Tow get lit up on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 March, with live DJs, fire pits, and overnight camping in the lot. If you're anywhere near Bellingham, this one's worth knowing about.
Mt. Baker Ski Area Is Running Night Skiing for the First Time in Its History This Weekend
Mt. Baker Ski Area has been operating for decades without ever running night sessions — that changes this Friday and Saturday. The resort has announced its inaugural night skiing event for 13 and 14 March, centred around the White Salmon base area, and by most measures it looks like they've put some genuine thought into making it an actual occasion rather than just leaving a few lights on.
What's Actually Running After Dark
Chair 7 and the White Salmon Handle Tow will be illuminated for both evenings, giving riders access to a solid section of the mountain once the sun goes down. Alongside the lift operations, Mt. Baker is setting up live DJs and fire pits at the base, with extended lodge services running throughout both nights. So you're not just getting a few extra runs in — there's a reasonable setup around it.
