Winter Activities

Visiting Bellingham and Whatcom County in the winter means white capped mountains and so much more! Snow-lovers can head up to Mount Baker to enjoy a range of snowsports including skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. 

Then, after a day on the mountain, journey back into Bellingham for incredible restaurants, shopping, theaters, museums, and galleries.

  • Go snowshoeing, skiing, and snowboarding around Mt. Baker
  • Hike closer to sea level, plus experience Pacific Northwest beauty and look for bald eagles all at the same time.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
