Cross-Country and Backcountry Skiing Routes
Anderson Creek Road, Razorhone Road and Silver Fir Campground - Cross country ski tracks are laid by volunteer members of the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club. These three areas are at the 2,000 level and they are free of charge but club membership and donations are appreciated to help meet expenses. Parking is at the Salmon Ridge Sno-Park, 10 miles down the road from Baker Lodge, and a Sno-Park permit is required.
| Anderson Creek Road | 2.1 - 6.0 miles | groomed at times |
| Razorhone Road | 2.9 miles | groomed at times |
| Silver Fir Campground | 0.7 miles | groomed and tracked |
White Salmon Road - This area is generally not machine groomed for cross country skiing and is free of charge. Often an area at the junction of White Salmon Road and the highway is plowed for parking. This is not a Sno-Park and therefore a permit is not required. White Salmon Road is approximately 3.5 miles down the road from Baker Lodge (below the commercial White Salmon Day Lodge). For additional information on the above referenced routes, visit the Nooksack Nordic Ski Club website at Nooksak Nordic Ski Club.
