This post is for people like us who don’t have a lot of backcountry experience but still want to visit Artist Point safely!
We saw the avalanche forecast for the area was “considerable” on NWAC but decided to check it out. We started at the Mt. Baker ski area lot. Follow the ski boundary (on your left) and you’ll avoid a majority of the avalanche exposure. Avoid the switch back and instead head straight up after you reach a plateau with beautiful views of Mt. Shuksan. Mt. Baker awaits at the top of your ascent :)
Always check the avalanche conditions and use your best judgment. Today was beautiful!
