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 5 years, 1 month ago Keep 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 5 years, 1 month ago There’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.

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. The Split 101 clinic by Chair 2 is at Chair 9 and it’s a just up thing too. There’s no avy gear to rent at the event but the Glacier Ski Shop rents all…[Read more] DrownedRat started the topic 2016 Baker Splitfest, March 11th to the 13th in the forum Events 5 years, 2 months ago I recently wrapped up the poster for the 2016 Baker Splitfest and the list of sponsors is a little nuts.

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 6 years, 1 month ago So 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 6 years, 1 month ago I’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. S…[Read more] DrownedRat started the topic 2015 Baker Splitfest, March 27th to 29th in the forum Events 6 years, 3 months ago The poster for the 2015 Baker Splitfest is ready.
