With the base developing up here in the Northwest, skiing is becoming more and more of a consistent possibility for daily recreation. I don't know if I should be ashamed or proud to say that this weekend will be the first time this season I will be getting after it. The ski area isn't open yet, so on one hand you could say I'm fairly motivated. On the other hand, the snow has been on Mt. Baker proper for quite some time and only laziness (and being out of WA I suppose) has prevented me from getting out there. Regardless, I am pumped to slap those planks on and make some turns.
The following video is part one of a three part series from Black Diamond which is bound to be awesome. Sure this weekend I will be in the Baker backcountry; maybe next weekend La Grave?
