Never heard of it? We don’t expect you to. It is a low-lying mountain that serves as a low-key alternative to the flashy and commercialized resorts of most of its neighbours. The mountain has no corporate sponsors, no TVs, no ATMs and no gondolas. Just snow. As host to the longest running snowboarding competition in the world, the Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom, it is also often referred to as the birthplace of snowboarding.
