After nearly losing a member of our team on the ridge to N. Baldy yesterday, we were forced to turn back. I wasn't sold... yet. I had to fucking get out there. So this morning, I rolled out of bed around 10 am and went the bird with The Gnarwhale and a non-mag Chris. Conditions were nicer today, excellent light was provided. A little consolidation over night tempted us all day to open it up, but the gnar lurked. North Baldy was nice, real nice.
Does anyone want to claim this? I could see your Ganja smoke from where was I was standing. No wonder it took you so long to get your skins off.
A good place to be.
Getting Warmer!
Go time. Chris
Jim, the Gnarwhale, lines up his tusk!
Is that a rock? No, just a delectable apron of savory goodness.
CANT.....NOT....GET RAD!!!
Mountain is tracked, don't waste your time tomorrow. Just kidding, I'll be there.

Damn, you make it look all mythical. Like there should be lightning bolts and wizards silhouetted on peaks.
In other news, the number good photos of me skiing just went up about 700% in the last 48 hours.

Seriously though, excellent stoke.
