SB and I spent the morning more or less circumnavigating Bagley Peak via Mazama Bowl, the Bagely-Herman Saddle at about 5900' followed by the south face of Bagely Peak directly above the Mt Baker Ski Area parking lot.
HIGH winds above 5000' were transporting lots of snow in various directions but mainly NE. Most slopes seemed stable but there were definitely places to be worried about. Managed to trigger a small slab by ski cutting a cornice, it didn't run very far. Skiing was alright to not-quite-ok on wind affected powder.
Be careful out there!

A tour I've studied and studied and never quite managed to make happen. Maybe tomorrow's the day (in somwhat-better-than "alright to not-quite-ok" powder). Thanks for the report.
