Chair 8 drops you off at a boundary gate on the Shuksan side of the ski area. After a short hike up from the gate you can traverse the ridge and drop into the bowl that's visible from the ski area. It's famous for the action shots the ski area posts on their socials but the ascents of either Baker or Shuksan are far more work than that.

Sitting right there in view (nearly right between) of Baker and Shuksan is such an fantastic location for a ski area.

You could actually ski both after touring from the ski area (there are two major lodge parking areas on opposite ends of the ski boundary). Cody Townsend has a pretty impressive ski descent of Shuksan as part of his THE FIFTY project and he camped overnight in the White Salmon Lodge parking lot.
