An avalanche that local rangers are calling a “100-year-event” blazed a path down Mt. Baker’s Shuksan Arm on Thursday morning March 16, 2012 according to a story on KIROtv.
Warming temperatures have caused unstable snow conditions, causing the Mt. Baker Ski Area to close. . . According to the Mt. Baker snow report, the area has received 110 inches of snowfall in the last six days, and snowfall this month has surpassed the entire month of March in the record year of 1998-1999.
The slide closed Mt. Baker for the day, but thankfully, no one was hurt and the only thing the slide destroyed were trees. Baker was closed yesterday, but will be back open today at 9 AM.
