Skied off the Shuksan arm friday a couple knolls past where people usually stop hiking from the ski area. Fun snow and fun terrain, but i broke my ski halfway down. navigating massive debris piles...

NWAC's calling for a big shut down cycle this weekend. Cornice collapses, glide cracks and large destructive avalanches likely in the late morning and afternoon Saturday through monday at least.

We drove to about 2300 ft this weekend and it took us an hour or so to get to the trailhead with some ski carries along the way.

Definitely the most faceshots i've ever had in one day, and the majority of them came after noon! didn't get first chair but my last run was better than my first run! tomorrow should be sick! Too...

Well missing this whole week has been a bit of bummer but i'm stoked as hell for tomorrow!

Well, you guys delivered the stoke and now I am envious of all of you who got to enjoy the rest of the storm cycle.
Here's me and my bro jacob's shots from before my incident on saturday.

Yeah, looking back I'm pretty happy i bit through my tongue cuz if i hadn't i probably would have knocked some teeth out and got concussed pretty badly. So far it really hasn't given me very much...

Baker was fuckin awesome yesterday! despite the biggest lines i've ever seen there every run was epic till 11 when this happened.

guilty, skinning on south facing slopes was frustrating, eventually booted it. untracked north facing stuff on herman is not that great, groomers were fun. Are you guys ready for vertfest?

Climbed and skied most of the NW couloir on shuksan this thursday, We stopped at the super exposed traverse that was described as too icy to ski by the party going to the north face. The skiing was...

anybody got room in there car from bham to baker tomorrow? I'm looking to go check out the lake ann butte in the sun but can't find a partner or a ride.

anybody ride baker bc today? did the sun soften anything or is everything still locked up?

^most definitely, and they rattle when you ski fast. I gotta fix my helmet mount.

It barely snowed all december here but the last two days of the month were fuckin epic. our snowpack is low for this time of year which makes faces that are usually just steep rollovers have nice...

I'm stoked the high pressure is moving out but its a bummer its gotta be so warm alpys gonna be getting rain fro tuesday am thru thursday. I'll ski anyway

Nope, I had to be back at work and not everybody was down to ski it. Its suprising how much damage the sun can do on the shortest day of the year, the way back down was heavy

The slot was damn icy at the top and hard to get any sort of edge - thank god for whippets. Once we got past that upper part we found increasingly better powder that got fairly deep from all of our...

After being unable to find a partner who thought skiing the bryant couloir would be fun i set out yesterday solo anticipating shitty skiing and adventure. On the way up the snow was what I had...

^When it warmed up on thursday the three inches that fell was going super easy.
Is that still the case?

I think the lack of new snow is making me crazy, for some reason we thought this would go and be a lot of fun.

There is still good snow to be found out there, think...

With the way the snowpack will be looking after the next few days a big rain event is what were gonna need. fix the weak layers now and shred stable pow later.

Opening day at baker was fuckin epic! only captured the first run on film, but we went back and shralped all our lines again the next day under blue skies.

temps at the top were sub freezing all day a bit above at mid mountain, seemed like it was possible that it was heavy snow at the top and possibly a lot of it.

Telementry makes it look like where it was snowing they could have picked up a lot.
the question is how low down was it snowing?
