one of the coolest things about Mt Baker is the large number of trees on the slopes... but the chances of falling in a tree well are of course EXTREMELY high since Baker gets so much snow.. A deep snow or tree well accident occurs when a rider or skier falls into an area of deep unconsolidated snow and becomes immobilized. The more the person struggles the more entrapped in the snow they become. If a partner is not there for immediate rescue, the skier or rider may die very quickly from suffocation - in many cases, they can die as quickly as someone can drown in water. 90% of people who fall into a tree well are unable to get themselves out and die.. so make sure you are always in sight of another rider when in the trees..
