My brother in law and trusty ski partner Pete asked me to meet him at mt baker. He was coming from vancouver BC and me from down south. we met a bit late after he waited at the border for 45 minutes longer than expected.
We started at 9am and did a clockwise route around table mt. North facing slopes were quite possibly the best corn i have ever skied. we made it to herman saddle and our final descent by 1230 and headed down. the snow had been in the sun too long by then and was a bit over ripe but still fun. we set off a couple slow moving slabs about 6" deep. We would let them slowly run out and then ski their path. that was gooooooood too. back to the car by 230 after taking our time and not wanting to leave the area. another good day. photos to come.
