And if it’s really dicey there’s always riding in bounds at the ski area. Riding a split inbounds can tell you a lot about the board. DrownedRat replied to the topic 2016 Baker Splitfest, March 11th to the 13th in the forum Events 6 years, 9 months agoKeep watching the Facebook page for reps posting what they are bringing. You might be able to get a demo that way. Otherwise the reps are all on the mountain with the rest of us on Saturday. You can stop by Chair 9 in the morning and see if anybody is there but I wouldn’t count on it. DrownedRat replied to the topic 2016 Baker Splitfest, March 11th to the 13th in the forum Events 6 years, 9 months agoThere’s a small campground just west of Chair 9 for camping. I know people sleep in their cars in the Chair 9 parking lot too. That’s not encouraged but not discouraged either. If you want some adventure there are some great camps up NF road 3/37. Take the Glacier Creek turn and the first left. It’s primitive camping but it’s beautiful.Google…[Read more] DrownedRat replied to the topic 2016 Baker Splitfest, March 11th to the 13th in the forum Events 6 years, 9 months agoGlad to hear your going to come!The clinic’s from Mt Baker Mountain Guides are first come first served so they are a just show up thing and look for their van in the Heather Meadows parking lot.

If you want to demo a board this is the year to come. I’ll put together a post with the poster and details in the events section. DrownedRat replied to the topic 2015 Baker Splitfest, March 27th to 29th in the forum Events 7 years, 8 months agoSo here’s my really late Baker Splitfest wrap up. The raffle ended up being a huge success. We generated $7300 for NWAC and gave away 9 boards in the raffle this year! Not bad for a bad snow year. 🙂The raffle was truly amazing again this year, from full Patagonia kits to beacon shovel probe kits to a set of Fitwells.Friday was sunny and…[Read more] DrownedRat replied to the topic 2015 Baker Splitfest, March 27th to 29th in the forum Events 7 years, 9 months agoI’ve been getting lots of questions if the Baker Splitfest is going to happen.The short answer is, yes, the event is going to happen!The long answer is the snow is up high and will require some extra effort to get to. This event serves a couple of purposes. One is to meet other splitboarders and get out into the back country near Mt Baker.
