Mount Baker is an awesome mountain. The peak is that much more mind blowing when you can scale its heights on a sunny no wind day. You can see a lot of iconic landmarks from the summit of Baker. Glacier peak, Rainier, and Olympic National Park. If, and that’s a big if, you can catch it on a good day like we did. On this episode we climb and ski Mount Baker via the Coleman Deming route. Skiing from the summit to the car provides nearly 8,000 ft of descent. Snow conditions ranged from ice to 6 inches of light powder. Definitely a radical day with a little of everything.

Someone said this before and it's still true, most underrated YouTube channel.

My favorite part of the video was Christof's 3 mediocre tips that consisted of 4 tips. Now that's some prime Amateur content right there!! ☺️

People around here do not always do Baker on skis in a day, but when they do - we don't call them Mediocre :)

You can tell it is a fun and leisurely day when no one pukes.

"Just had to pop-tart it." Iconic.

Am I the only one extremely inspired by these guys? I have goals and aspirations to do pretty much everything they do! (Maybe just a tad bit slower)

I need a friend like this, solo hiking is fun but lonely 😕

Great video, as always. I really appreciate the extra details you include. The pre-morning hotel, mcd being closed, trailhead prep, skin track skiing, etc. That stuff is rarely shown on other ski videos - they just focus on the summit and beautiful downhill turns. I watch for all the little non-beautiful turn parts. Keep up the good work - and keep filming the non-sexy parts of your adventures.

Honestly..places like Mt. Baker just make me so happy to live here in Washington. I live in Seattle and from our unit, we can step out onto the patio and see the Olympic Mountains and Cascades. We get the clearest view of Mt. Rainier daily and to me? Its perfection. I love this state.

Excellent video of my old stomping grounds. (Mount Vernon) Loved Mt Baker and miss the mountains living in Sydney. Cheers.

You guys should definitely check out the enchantments in the middle cascades near Leavenworth Washington.

Man, the blue of those glaciers looks so pretty on the mountain.

A year later, I say this again, the most underrated youtube channel!

Since Europe is back in a full lockdown, i ran out of outdoor-things to watch two weeks ago. Then i found you guys and pretty much watched every video there is. Fantastic stuff, thanks for keeping my summit-hunger well fed!

Great to see you guys back in my home state! WA is beautiful and has it all from ski to sea.

Classic, "...we get to that summit and it's windless and sunny, is that too much to ask for?" Happy Birthday Danny! I'm glad for once your "...is that too much to ask?" got answered to your satisfaction :-)
