Before this last week's snow fall there were eerie pockets of hollow snow and micro-terrain collapses on the ground layer all around Hidden Peak, sounds like not enough warming yet to get at that now well loaded layer.
glad you are ok and still defiant about helmets.Move upside and let the man go through...

That's a big spill. Thank you for helping work on the conditions and opening for the rest of us at Baker. Glad you're mostly ok!

Mission skiing nice this am. Little scary. Variable. Some slabbiness but also some fairly decent powder. Groomers not too bad either. Pretty busy.

Growing up in the PNW close to Ballard seemed like all the guys had cool Scandinavian names like Pers, Jens, Cajetan, Trygve etc.. For girls I've always loved Kjersti. Much more interesting then my Irish family names or at least I thought so. I mean what girl wants to be named Oonagh when you can be named Kjersti?

Thanks for the summary Grant and glad you’re still with us.
Sounds like you have a Colorado snowpack in the north Cascades right now, which is scary when you think about the fact that even Colorado recreational BC skiers have a hard time with deep persistent slab (DPS) problems. Coastal skiers from Tahoe to Baker just look at you funny when you tell them to STFU and stop using the word “bomber” or the term “no signs of instability” to describe a run they just took, skiing a slope sitting on probable or confirmed basal facets / deeply buried near-crust facets.
Hopefully word of the tricky snowpack gets around and people use the opportunity to practice good terrain and consequence management appropriate to the DPS problem ... hopefully.
Rest well and get well soon!_______________________________________________

Ouch. I didn’t know there was a partial burial. It ran into the trees just east of no name. Looked like patrol was searching so I asked if there was a burial and the guy said they weren’t sure yet. I skied Lemolo twice which was fantastic and then the next ride up they were closing that side and no longer searching.

After a crusty and firm 4hr20min of golfing today, I decided to hang-up the stick and go get some work done. Coverage is great, surface conditions not so much... rock board(s) not necessary but sharp edges are. Good to get the hill open and the stoke going - we'll see how much survives this coming w

It seems too early in the thread to be getting excited about 2"...
In other news, I suspect storm-related clean-up may keep some folks away from the slopes tomorrow...

I'll be with some buddies at Baker today if anyone makes it up. I'm the big dude in the half bright half dark Oakley jacket probably looking like a newborn deer trying to walk on my skis.
