I cajoled Ryan to make the long drive up from Seattle with the promise of fresh tracks all day.  We  got it and more; sun, stable, stable conditions, companionship with the usual Baker suspects and a carpet of fantastic powder over the alpine.  The backcountry tribe pauses briefly and then returns to the joy of skiing.  RIP Monika....

Can you tell from the picture that Ryan loves his new rockered K2 backsides?
Looks sweet!  Nice turns, Gregg and Ryan. 

And apparently it was a lot sunnier up there than expected based on the "FRIDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS" forecast.

Looking forward to skiing some of that deep pow in the sunshine tomorrow!


Great to see a smile on Ryan's face. 

He did a lot of smiling yesterday.....

Thanks Gregg for the great day. Glad you had fun yesterday as well....
