Poor Man's Heli

“Friends are the people you can count on to send you a photo from Baker’s parking lot showing you that it’s bluebird on opening day when they know you have a 10AM meeting”

Baker parking lot about 10 minutes ago

Pretty much every resort in the PNW is opening this week or by the weekend, if they aren’t open already.  Timberline already open, Crystal and Meadows open today, Baker opens tomorrow with all lifts firing – it’s ON!  Seems earlier than usual, by about a month, but I’m not complaining as long as it stays.  If you haven’t got your season pass yet better get on it as I’ve got a feeling any deals are going to go away ASAP as everyone heads to the hills to cure their snow blueballs.

A couple pics taken at Baker on the 8th.

SCHWAAACK!

I can haz pow?

Ahhh NW flat light

Speaking of Baker, today is the last day to enter the Banker Slalom lottery.  Not sure how many people enter the lottery these days, but as you’re vying for 95 spots I wouldn’t hold your breath.
