    Never been to Bachelor, worth the drive from Seattle or should I fly to Utah?

    I think Bachelor is a far better mountain that Crystal or Stevens. But would I drive 5.5 to 6.5 hrs from Seattle to ski it? Probably not. SLC is such an easy flight.
    Is Baker worth my time? Tons of snow but I have no idea of the layout and lifts.
    Baker is on my bucket list this year. I haven't been, but it appears to have the best terrain and snow locally. This perception is only based on the social media posts that come out of there vs the other local mountains which I ski regularly (I prefer steep technical terrain). The downside is it's 3+ hrs from Seattle - which sucks and has kept me away.

    On the way back down, hit up the North Fork Brewery. Great beer, good pizza.

    I haven't skied there in 20 plus years. It gets the most snow of any resort in N. America so there's that. It's just such a haul.

    I have in-laws near Lynden. Might give it a go this season.
