This run isn't in the same league as the others in this thread, but my favorite this season has been the short steep section under the top Chair 7 at Mt Baker, known as Chair 7 Face on the
locals map. Chair 7 is a beginners lift and the first you take from White Salmon to get to the more advanced chairs of 4, 5, 6, and 8. Chair 7 is so entry level that Baker offers a discounted "Chair-7-only" ticket midweek when Heather Meadows is closed and Chair 2 is not turning.
But the Face is not entry level. Obstacles galore early season sets up for great pillow lines. And it's one of the steeper sections on the mountain; not Hairy Scary steep, but certainly Gabl's headwall steep. In fact, late season when Bake went down to just 7 and 5 with Gabl's closed, I found myself lapping 7 because this "beginner lift" had the best steep terrain on the mountain.
The combination of the beginner lift and being a short run makes it unassuming. So much so that I struggled to find any pictures of it.
This was the best I could uncover; note this is the older lift, the new lift you go up on the right side.
But unassuming has its advantages. It holds good snow longer than expected. And with the Covid crowds this year -- all other western Washington areas had reservations so everyone just came to Baker instead -- a couple days this season I found myself just lapping 7 and this sweet little run when the rest of the mountain was too congested.
But the real reason this run is the best is the interactions you get with the lift. I got more woohoos here this season than anywhere else. And because it's a beginner lift, lots of the cheers are coming from kids. "Whoa! Dad, did you see that? That was so cool!"
To further add to the stoke, as the season progresses the snowpack fills in and the lift gets closer and closer to the ground to the point where the patrol has to put up ropes and "Keep Your Tips Up" signs to prevent people from getting pulled off mid ride. So what were calls from 20 feet above now turn into mini conversations as lift riders pass right next to you as you are standing on the edge looking down. Pole hi-fives from overhead passerbys almost guarantee this will be one of the best runs of your life.
