Hiked out along Ptarmigan ridge for about an hour to a decent patch.
We were rewarded with firm suncup skiing. Earned Turns All Year 156.
When we ski in Washington. You gotta crank up the Seattle sound.
One of my all time favourites. Temple of the Dog. Hunger strike. A PNW
staple from the era. Flannel, rain, Craig Kelly, skiing powder on the lifts at Baker with no crowds.

Thanks for sharing. Temple of the Dog. I love that song. Such a great PNW classic.

156 nice!

But that snow looks pretty sad. Love how you tossed your skis! You should drive to Wenatchee and ski pow for October. Probably will still be good on Tuesday.
