All I can say is after a great weekend at Mt. Baker is: I'm pooped!
As they've been advertising, Mt. Baker was open with more snow than any other area in North America, and while it didn't snow, the sun was out, the lifts were running and we skied the entire mountain.
A bunch of our ski school's clinic staff and I skied together on Saturday, and it's really a great way to get the season started, as the camaraderie makes it fun, and the competitiveness that I think almost everybody has keeps you going hard.
On Sunday (same beautiful weather), a smaller number of us skied with my son Spencer and his friend Jake. We had a great time, including watching them catch some air in the terrain park (I thought, albeit briefly, about trying to pull off a 360 like I used to 30 years ago... OK, I thought very briefly).
With the warmer weather, the snowpack was starting to look a little thin. The forecast for the week is to have reasonably cold weather but no precipitation until later in the week.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
