A friend and I headed up to the Mt. Baker Ski area.  Followed a sizable crew up the blue berry cat track, then skied sticky wicket.  Ski penetration above the knee, boot penetration above the groin.  Uffdah.  Blessed were the track setters.

Dug a pit at 4700' on a 40 degree east-facing slope below Pan Dome.  Probed and found 2.5 meters to the ground!  Got CT11 Q3 with a compression test on what looked like a lower density layer about 20 inches down.  Didn't detect a rain crust, which I expected to find because of the telemetry.

All in all, an excellent start to the 2009-2010 season!
Hella snow, and pretty heavy. Folks with little skis were gettin pwned.

Wtf is with the bluebird pictures i keep seeing of Crystal?? I wanna see where Im goin at Baker!
