Yeah, but the snow will be sucky heavy wet glop and WA is not as cool as anywhere else to ski.

I passed a Subaru on the way to work this morning whose driver looked suspiciously like Squirrel99. If we get a Baker report from him tonight I think I have a confirmed sighting

sadly that was not me, however I can confirm that Zbo and Re will be joining up with the regular Baker crowd to enjoy the fruitation. I'm sure one of them will share countless stories of overthehead face shots and juggernaut pow slaying.

[grrrr]

Baker reporting only 3 new this morning. Tomorrow on the other hand, I suggest everyone stray at work. If you must ski, I have heard things are shaping up in Tahoe. Or Snoqualamie. No need to come North tomorrow. At all.

Chains required over Baker!!!!

[extreeski]

Today is the kind of day when I am faced with too many important meetings to stray from work all freakin' week. On top of that CDLV calls me from Collins to tell me just how good it is.

<- Me.

Hopin' that next weekend sees the cumulative goodness of all this new snow piled up in all kinds of sweet places. Cause I've got the next weekend blocked off for one thing. See you in line early on Saturday.
