    Coverage was good, snow was surprisingly soft until the boulder field right before hogsback. Was definitely worth a few laps up there.

    Fun couple of days at crustal over the weekend, glad to get in some turns since the FoReCaST isn't looking great in the near future. Coverage still good for now, hope it holds up fairly well until the next round of snow.

    That’s the most fucked skin track I’ve ever seen. Totally ignored every tenate of proper avalanche safety protocol and on top of it fucked the entire run up.
    Based upon the responses I’ve gotten for calling it out and showing examples of why it’s so fucked, it just further proves we have way too many people with gear that have essentially no education, knowledge or common sense. It’s a dangerous recipe for a mass casualty event.

    Not a Baker nor touring guy but recognize that face and have seen enough photos of crowns/slides on it to know that’s a death wish

    I’ve never been a Baker guy. Is that the arm that slides big every few years and ends in a terrain trap?

    Genuinely curious what the right way to travel through this zone is. Is this just an “avoid entirely” situation?

    Yes. That is the beast on the arm that slides big every few years and has a massive terrain trap bellow. The correct and obvious way to access it is from the well established skin track and boot pack from the top of chair 8 that goes out and stays on top of the ridge. Even if you were to break trail going to correct way it’s certainly faster than what these dip shits did.

    I suspect (and have heard rumors) they didn’t have lift tickets and even if that’s the case it would have been easier and faster to use the traditional route or instead skin up heli line (still frowned upon) but at least that’s more reasonable and (probably quicker too)

    Got it, thanks. I remember seeing your photo of that massive crown from 2012 maybe? It forever put that zone on my 'do not fuck with' list.

    That's serious terrain, and compounded by the fact that any number of gnarly kooks could drop in on you at any time.

    Plenty of fun to be had at the crusty resort but we are in need of a refresh bad. 46* at summit house today with too much brown pow and base grinders lying in wait.

    Had fun chasing my wife around the groomers this morning but yeah it's thin. Brain damage still has gizzard stones in its gullet:

    Don’t drive take the bus but when you get there stay warm only if you are spending $ in these 15 minutes. Why is there a parking problem?

    “Ski area closed today (Saturday) while we wait for the snowpack to drain from the precipitation we received last night”.

    Maybe we've all been too critical of the new lodge...what if it has some kind of magical meteorological mitigation properties built in?

    Here’s to hoping the freezing levels drop fast and snoqualmie sees some solid precip soon.

    Baker has webcams but doesn't let the public see them because it's better for the people not to know about the rain

    I spent a delightful day at Baker doing an avalanche rescue course. I can confirm that it was raining sideways until the afternoon, when it started snowing sideways.

    If you were up early enough, the crusty valley provided some excellent am turns. Dumped up high for most of the day, and dipped out when the crowds finally showed their faces.

    The lady loved it.
