15Mt Baker, Washington
If you enjoy snowy adventures, head to Mt Baker in Washington State’s Cascade Mountain range. The friendly Mt Baker Ski Resort is one of the nation’s few existing family-run ski resorts. Here you’ll find newbie-friendly runs to off-piste skiing for skiers who are more advanced.
It’s not one of the larger resorts and thus there are generally not long lift lines and the slopes are comparatively quiet. The prices are lower here too. Furthermore, this place usually gets the largest snowfall of any of the other resorts in the lower 48. If you’d rather go snowshoeing, the Artist Point snowshoe trail is highly recommended. It’s a well-marked trail and only four miles in length.
