Some great riding up there

He is working on one, so as of now this is all you can see. Just a little tease for whats to come.

Took chair 2 up 5 of the ten people on the mountain went up chair 2. High T gate was closed. Did 2 lower backcountry runs. Virtually untracked?. Third time up Chair 2 . Hight T gate was open. I took some video below. One of the best days ever at Alpental and that is saying a lot.

Fuck YES.

1:05 on.
I don't get out that far very often. That looks amazing. Great snow, sun, and, of course, amazing terrain.

Awesome.

Any chance my girlfriend and I could snag a ride up to baker with someone tomorrow? We're out here on vacation and it looks like the friends we've been staying with all have to work tomorrow. We're right off of interstate 5 at exit 253 and we'll gladly pay for gas and/or beer.

Well, I'll ask on behalf the rest of the self respecting Baker mags here...
Pics of your GF, preferably nekked?

Can we settle on a non nekked shredding pic?

Recent rain formed a crust layer around 5,500 feet that acted as a trigger point for slides that ran on most aspects. The rain eventually turned to snow, lots of snow and with the added weight and stress to the slopes things started moving..

Mission has been great the last 4 days. Any wind board from Wednesday morning's storm is rapidly decomposing. Fast sugar today. Would have been a great weekend to show you around. Another race this weekend and crowded, but almost no one freeskiing.

i knew of race from buddy who's lightning quick kid is racing.
also thought the wind would be whipping hard there, was a force to be reckoned with here yesterday, not so much today.
looking forward to a visit east in the next few weeks add a little more sugar before we get there.
enjoy the freeskiing

Couple shots from Mission today. Unfortunately Elisa got a really bad core shot. Fortunately the shop on the hill fixed it for five bucks. (and it was right next to her other one so she got a 2-fer).

^Right on. I've had bad luck finding places that won't gouge you for fixing your stuff up.

Of course, I've had worse luck fixing my own shit.

Catherine was pretty good. Variable pow over a mostly edgeable crust, though the usual route got skied/sluffed pretty thoroughly.

Should have come with you guys. No love today on any aspect off Pineapple/Hemlock/Bryant, but the Wonder Gully was wind buffed goodness after the crux -wished I was on the L120's instead of the W105's.

Will be skiing baker tomorrow if anyone wants to show me around that would be awesome. In red jacket/white pants EHPs my non mag buddy has a tan jacket/brown pants/ scott p4s. If someone needs a ride up from bellingham, i can get you up there but were headed up to whistler so we cant get you back. Also might be back next saturday on our way back.

Mission still pretty sweet.

Saying NO is ALWAYS the correct response. Do not ever invite a police officer into your home or car. They are doing nothing but looking for reasons to fuck with you, because that's their job. But, they need your permission (or probable cause) to enter your vehicle. If they're asking, then they do not have probable cause. So, don't invite them in for an inspection.

You can never, ever make things worse by saying no. But, by consenting, you're giving them a million opportunities to find some other thing wrong. Don't give them permission to ransack your personal & private property. They don't give a fuck about your belongings, they'll fuck up your shit, and then they have a lot more opportunities to find or create evidence against you.
