WA Cascades West Slopes North (Mt Baker)

1
Left the lot @ 10 a.m. with Richard, Tobae and Dan
Cold up there, lots of work going on as they were in a rush to get ready for opening day.
Hit a few runs off the top until things started to get skied out, so we headed on over towards Artist Point and made our way down a chute to Bagley Lakes basin and back to the car by 2:15
Snow quality = A
Visibility = C+
My fitness level = D+
Rocks and hazards = B+
I might have only hit (1) rock, but I took my Zealots which I think helped me stay afloat on the blower pow.
Last run of the day to Bagley Lakes was my run of the day (even and smooth terrain) , too bad the vis at that time was poor.
Major excitement of the day was Dan driving us into a 360 just a few miles below the ski area on 542.
Salmon Chowder at Boundry Bay ended the day quite nice.

Video coming soon (if I got any footage that is)
